1)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1021 applicants were interviewed. If 9%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

Answer: 929


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1021

Number of selected applicants = 9% of 1021

                                                  = (9÷100) x 1021

                                                  = 0.09 x 1021

                                                  = 92

Number of non selected applicants= 1021-92

                                                        = 929

 



2)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1557 applicants were interviewed. If 5%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

Answer: 1479


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1557

Number of selected applicants = 5% of 1557

                                                  = 0.05 x 1557

                                                  = 78

Number of non selected applicants= 1557-78

                                                        = 1479

 



3)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1024 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: 963

                                                  = 0.06 x 1024

                                                  = 61

Number of non selected applicants= 1024-61

                                                        = 963

                                                  = 52

Number of non selected applicants= 1045-52

                                                        = 993

 



7)
