1. The number of coins of $2 in the wallet is 50. And these coins form 25 % of its total coins. How many coins are there in the purse?
Solution:
The no. of coins of $2 in the wallet is 50,
Given 50 coins form 25%,
To know the total number of coins we assume they would be 100%
Number of coins be x
50 – 25%
x – 100%
on cross multiplying and separating x we have the value as 200
The total number of coins is 200 coins.
2. The total number of students in the class is 130 and in that 65 students are promoted for the next class. What will be the qualified percent of the students?
