1)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1906 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: 1849


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1906

Number of selected applicants = 3% of 1906

                                                  = (3÷100) x 1906

                                                  = 0.03 x 1906

                                                  = 57

Number of non selected applicants= 1906-57

                                                        = 1849

 



2)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1723 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: 1620


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1723

Number of selected applicants = 6% of 1723

                                                  = (6÷100) x 1723

                                                  = 0.06 x 1723

                                                  = 103

Number of non selected applicants= 1723-103

                                                        = 1620

 



3)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1086 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: 988


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1086

Number of selected applicants = 9% of 1086

                                                  = 0.09 x 1086

                                                  = 98

Number of non selected applicants= 1086-98

                                                        = 988

                                                  = 97

Number of non selected applicants= 1949-97

                                                        = 1852

                                                  = 0.06 x 1782

                                                  = 107

Number of non selected applicants= 1782-107

                                                        = 1675

                                                  = 0.1 x 1518

                                                  = 152

Number of non selected applicants= 1518-152

                                                        = 1366

 



7)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1147 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: 1044


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Number of selected applicants = 10% of 2000

                                                  = (10÷100) x 2000

                                                  = 0.1 x 2000

                                                  = 200

Number of non selected applicants= 2000-200

                                                        = 1800

 



9)
