Question 6.
There are 24% of boys in a school. If the number of girls is 456, find the total number of students in the
school.
Solution:
Let the total number of students be 100.
24
Number of boys = 24% of 100 = 100
× 100 = 24
Number of girls = 100 – 24 = 76
⇒ If number of girls is 76, then total number of students = 100
100
⇒ If Number of girls is 1, then total number of students = 76
100×456
If Number of girls is 456, then total number of students = 76
= 600
Hence, the total number of students in the school = 600

If cost including VAT is ₹ 108, then its initial cost = ₹ 100
100
If cost including VAT is ₹ 1, then its initial cost = ₹ 108
100
If cost including VAT is ₹ 2,700, then its initial cost = ₹ 108

Question 11.
A number is increased by 20% and then it is decreased by 20%. Find the net increase or decrease per cent.
(NCERT Exemplar)
Solution:
Let the number be 100
20
20% increase = 100
× 100 = 20
Increased value = 100 + 20 = 120
Now it is decreased by 20%
120
Decreased value = 120 – 100
× 20 = 120 – 24 = 96
Net decrease = 100 – 96 = 4

Decrease per cent = 100

Hence, the net decrease per cent = 4%

Question 12.
Two candidates Raman and Rajan contested an election. Raman gets 46% of the valid votes and
is#defeated by 1600 votes. Find the total number of valid votes cast in the election.
Solution:
Let the total number of valid votes be 100
46
Number of votes got by Raman = 46% of 100 = 100
× 100 = 46
Number of votes got by Rajan = 100 – 46 = 54
Difference between the votes = 54 – 46 = 8
8% of Valid votes = 1,600
8
⇒ 100
× Valid votes = 1,600
1600×100
⇒ Valid votes = 8
= 20,000
Hence, the total number of valid votes = 20,000
