Finding percentages (out Finding percentages (out of 100)of 100)

• For understanding percentages (%) remember the following -

• Multiply the given number by this to get required %-

• 1.100%- multiply by number itself or 1• 2. 50%- multiply by ½ or 0.5• 3. 25%- multiply by ¼ or 0.25• 4. 20%- multiply by 1/5 or 0.20 etc.

Problems on Problems on Percentages-Percentages-

• Que 13.

2 is what % of 50?

• Ans- 1.2 2.10 3.100 4.4

• Ans-1.123 2.124 3.125 4.126

• Hint- S=D/T =500/4 =125km/hr

• Some Basic Formulae:Some Basic Formulae:

– (a + b) (a - b) = (a2 - b2)– (a + b)2 = (a2 + b2 + 2ab)– (a - b)2 = (a2 + b2 - 2ab)– (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab +

bc + ca)– (a3 + b3) = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2)– (a3 - b3) = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2)– When a + b + c = 0, then a3 + b3 +

c3 = 3abc.
