1)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1097 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: 1042


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1097

Number of selected applicants = 5% of 1097

                                                  = (5÷100) x 1097

                                                  = 0.05 x 1097

                                                  = 55

Number of non selected applicants= 1097-55

                                                        = 1042

 



2)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1626 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: 1577


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1626

Number of selected applicants = 3% of 1626

                                                  = (3÷100) x 1626

                                                  = 0.03 x 1626

                                                  = 49

Number of non selected applicants= 1626-49

                                                        = 1577

 



3)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1275 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: 1160


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

                                                  = 0.09 x 1275

                                                  = 115

Number of non selected applicants= 1275-115

                                                        = 1160

                                                  = 131

Number of non selected applicants= 1634-131

                                                        = 1503

                                                  = 56

Number of non selected applicants= 1411-56

                                                        = 1355

 



7)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1731 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: 1627


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

                                                  = 0.06 x 1622

                                                  = 97

Number of non selected applicants= 1622-97

                                                        = 1525
