1)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1796 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: 1706


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1796

Number of selected applicants = 5% of 1796

                                                  = (5÷100) x 1796

                                                  = 0.05 x 1796

                                                  = 90

Number of non selected applicants= 1796-90

                                                        = 1706

 



2)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1112 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: 1012


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1112

Number of selected applicants = 9% of 1112

                                                  = (9÷100) x 1112

                                                  = 0.09 x 1112

                                                  = 100

Number of non selected applicants= 1112-100

                                                        = 1012

 



3)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1180 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: 1145


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1180

Number of selected applicants = 3% of 1180

                                                  = 0.03 x 1180

                                                  = 35

Number of non selected applicants= 1180-35

                                                        = 1145

                                                  = 108

Number of non selected applicants= 1537-108

                                                        = 1429

                                                  = 74

Number of non selected applicants= 1859-74

                                                        = 1785

                                                  = 39

Number of non selected applicants= 1931-39

                                                        = 1892

 



7)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1388 applicants were interviewed. If 4%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

Answer: 1332


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

                                                  = 0.04 x 1326

                                                  = 53

Number of non selected applicants= 1326-53

                                                        = 1273

Number of selected applicants = 8% of 1638

                                                  = (8÷100) x 1638

                                                  = 0.08 x 1638

                                                  = 131

Number of non selected applicants= 1638-131

                                                        = 1507
