20 x 55 x 66 = L x 65 x 70
Here L = 72,600/4550 = 15.95 =~ 16
Reduction is 20-16 = 4

which is 20% reduction.

Let the rquired number be 'P'

According to the question,

$$\begin{gathered} 100 x P100 = 20 \\ => P = 20 x 100100 = 20 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, 100 percent of the number 20 is 20.

Now, you can also try for

20 percent of what number is 100

$$\begin{gathered} 20 x P100 = 100 \\ => P = 100 x 10020 = 500 \\ => P = 500 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, 20 percent of the number 500 is 100.

From the given data,

When the price of rice is decreased by 10%, the value of Rs. 270 would become

270 x 100/90 = 300

Now, the value 270 becomes 300

And given, the girl could buy 1 kg extra for that value

Change in value = 300 - 270 = Rs. 30

Therefore, 1 kg extra rice she can get for Rs. 30

=> The original price of rice = Rs. 30/kg.

As she gets only 9 kgs for Rs. 270 before 10% discount, now after discount she gets 10 kgs instead of 9 kgs for Rs. 270.  

Let his present earnings be Rs. p

ATQ,

(125/100) x (96/100) x (125/100) x (96/100) x (125/100) x p = 72000

p = Rs. 40,000.

Let no. of boys be 'B' and no. of girls be 'G'

Here from given data,

B + G = 1650 .....(1)

B - G = 400 .....(2)

From (1) & (2), we get

2B = 2050

=> B = 1025

=> G = 1650 - 1025 = 625

Hence, the % of girls = 625 x 100/1650

=> 38% (approx).

From the given data,

80 x 15/100 of 80 + 5 x 80 x 25/100

= 960 + 100

= 1060.

End of first year     :  10000 x (3/5) = Rs. 6000
End of second year :  6000 x (3/5) = Rs. 3600
End of third year    :  3600 x (3/5) = Rs. 2160

Here 85 of 352 => 85 is what percent in 352

Let p% of 352 is 85

Percentage(%) is generally calculated in the total of 100.

=> p x 352/100  = 85

=> p = 8500/352  = 24.14%

Hence, 85 is 24.14% of 352.
