1)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1006 applicants were interviewed. If 10%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

Answer: 905


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1006

Number of selected applicants = 10% of 1006

                                                  = (10÷100) x 1006

                                                  = 0.1 x 1006

                                                  = 101

Number of non selected applicants= 1006-101

                                                        = 905

 



2)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1782 applicants were interviewed. If 6%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

Answer: 1675


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1782

Number of selected applicants = 6% of 1782

                                                  = (6÷100) x 1782

                                                  = 0.06 x 1782

                                                  = 107

Number of non selected applicants= 1782-107

                                                        = 1675

 



3)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1622 applicants were interviewed. If 3%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

Answer: 1573


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

                                                  = 0.03 x 1622

                                                  = 49

Number of non selected applicants= 1622-49

                                                        = 1573

                                                  = 70

Number of non selected applicants= 1402-70

                                                        = 1332

                                                  = 76

Number of non selected applicants= 1527-76

                                                        = 1451

 



7)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1747 applicants were interviewed. If 10%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

Answer: 1572

                                                  = 0.02 x 1749

                                                  = 35

Number of non selected applicants= 1749-35

                                                        = 1714

 



9)

Number of selected applicants = 9% of 1423

                                                  = (9÷100) x 1423

                                                  = 0.09 x 1423

                                                  = 128

Number of non selected applicants= 1423-128

                                                        = 1295
