Percentage - Quiz

The solution would be calculated as follows:

Let the initial amount with Mr. Jones be Rs. x.

Then the money given to the wife is

 Rs. (40/100)x = Rs. (2x/5).
The balance after this transaction is 

Rs. (x – (2x/5)) = Rs. (3x/5).

The money given to the three sons is 

Rs. (3 * ((20/100) * (3x/5))) = Rs. (9x/5).
The balance after this transaction is 
Rs. ((3x/5) – (9x/25)) = Rs. (6x/25).

The amount deposited in the bank is 
Rs. (1/2 * (6x/25)) = Rs. (3x/25).

Therefore, 3x/25 = 12,000.

Solving for x, 

we get x = ((12,000 * 25) / 3) = 100,000.

So Mr. Jones initially had Rs. 100,000 with him.

To do this, 
You can set up an equation to represent the total sales minus the commission, which is equal to the amount that the salesman remits to his parent company. 
Then, you can solve for the total sales by rearranging the equation and solving for x.

Using the steps you provided, the solution would be calculated as follows:

Let the total sales be x.

Then the total sales minus the commission is equal to Rs. 31,100, so we have the equation: 

x - [(5% of 10000 + 4% of (x-10000)] = 31,100.

Substituting in the values for the commission, 
we get: x - [(5/100)10000 + (4/100)(x-10000)] = 31,100.

This simplifies to: x - 500 - ((x-10000)/25) = 31,100.

Subtracting x from both sides and rearranging, 
we get: x - (x/25) = 31200.

Dividing both sides by 24/25, 
we get: x = [(31200*25)/24) = 32,500.

This means that the total sales made by the salesman were Rs. 32,500

If the original income was Rs.100 and Paulson spent 75% of it, or Rs.75, then his savings would be Rs.25. If his income was increased by 20%, the new income would be Rs.120. If he also increased his expenditure by 10%, his new expenditure would be Rs.82.5.

His new savings would then be Rs.37.5, which is an increase of Rs.12.5 from the original savings. The percentage increase in his savings is 50%.

The original price of the product was Rs.100 and 100 pieces were sold, resulting in total revenue of Rs.10000.
After decreasing the price by 10% and increasing the number sold by 30%, the new revenue was Rs.11700. This represents an increase in revenue of 17%.

Population after 2 years = 176,400 * (1 + 5/100)^2
= 176,400 * (21/20) * (21/20)
= 194,481

Population 2 years ago = 176,400 / (1 + 5/100)^2
= 176,400 * (20/21) * (20/21)
= 160,000

If the smaller number is 100, the first number is 120,
and the percentage that the smaller number is less than the greater number can be calculated by taking 20% of the first number and dividing it by the first number,
and then multiplying the result by 100%.
This gives a result of approximately 16 2/3%."

The reduction in consumption can be calculated by
taking the proportion of the original consumption value divided by the sum of the original consumption value and a percentage value,
and then multiplying the result by 100%.
Using the example values provided, the reduction in consumption would be calculated as follows:
Reduction in consumption = [(25/(100 + 25)] X 100)%
= [(25/125)] X 100)%
= 20%
This means that the consumption has been reduced by 20%

we can define a variable "z" as the net percent change in receipts and 
set up the following equation:

z = (x + y + xy/100)%
= (-30 + 50 + (-30 * 50)/100)%
= 5%

This equation shows that the net percent change in receipts is 5%.

We can define a variable "z" as the net percent change in area and 
set up the following equation:

z = (x + y + xy/100)%
= (40 + 30 + (40 * 30)/100)%
= 82%

This equation shows that the net percent change in area is 82%.
