Percentage Question 1:
In the summer a survey was conducted among 400 people about their favourite beverage. The following pie chart shows the data. What is the total central for cold coffee and a cold drink?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 1 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Central Angle = (Percentage of the expenditure / 100) × 360°
Expenditure on cold coffee is 6% and cold drink is 2%,
Central Angle for Cold Coffee = (6 / 100) × 360° = 21.6°
Central Angle for Cold Drink = (2 / 100) × 360° = 7.2°
Total Central Angle = 21.6° + 7.2° = 28.8°
The total central angle for cold coffee and cold drink is 28.8°.
Percentage Question 2:
The below pie chart shows the % distribution of the expenditure incurred in establishing a business. What is the central angle of the sector corresponding to the expenditure incurred on staff?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 2 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Central Angle = (Percentage of the expenditure / 100) × 360°
Given the expenditure on staff is 15%, we can calculate the central angle as follows:
Central Angle = (15 / 100) × 360°
Central Angle = 0.15 × 360° = 54°
The central angle corresponding to the expenditure on staff is 54°.
Percentage Question 3:
Study the given pie-chart and answer the question that follows.
Monthly percentage expenditure of a Sultan is given in the pie-chart.
What is the monthly expenditure on Food by the Sultan (in ₹) if the total monthly expenditure of the Sultan is ₹10,000?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given:
Total monthly expenditure of the Sultan = ₹10,000
Percentage expenditure on Food = 25%
Formula Used:
Monthly expenditure on Food = (Percentage expenditure on Food / 100) × Total monthly expenditure
Calculation:
Monthly expenditure on Food = (25 / 100) × 10,000
⇒ Monthly expenditure on Food = 0.25 × 10,000
⇒ Monthly expenditure on Food = 2,500
The monthly expenditure on Food by the Sultan is ₹2,500.
Percentage Question 4:
The following pie-chart shows the distribution of students at graduate level in different institutes in a town. Study the given chart and answer the question that follows.
Distribution of students at graduate level institutes
If the total number of students at the graduate level is 2,46,000, then how many students of institutes A and B are studying
at graduate level?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 4 Detailed Solution
Given:
Total number of students at the graduate level = 2,46,000
Percentage of students in institute A = 17%
Percentage of students in institute B = 14%
Formula used:
Number of students = (Percentage) × (Total number of students)
Calculations:
Number of students in institute A = (17/100) × 2,46,000 = 41,820
Number of students in institute B = (14/100) × 2,46,000 = 34,440
Total number of students in institutes A and B = 41,820 + 34,440 = 76,260
∴ The total number of students in institutes A and B is: 76,260

Study the given pie chart carefully and answer the question that follows.
If the total expenditure is ₹10,70,000, then find the central angle of the sector representing ‘drawing’.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 5 Detailed Solution
Given:
Total expenditure = ₹10,70,000
Expenditure on drawing = 19%
Formula used:
Central angle = (Expenditure on drawing / Total expenditure) × 360°
Calculations:
Central angle of drawing = (19 / 100) × 360°
⇒ Central angle of drawing = 68.4°
∴ The correct answer is option (3).

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 7 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCalculation:
Let the Cost price of the book be 100
Then, Marked Price of the book is 100 + (15% of 100) = 115
Printed price or marked price = 942
Cost price of book = 942 × (100/115)

Now,
Paper cost = 819.13 × 15/100
⇒ 122.869 ≈ 122.9
∴ The required answer is Rs. 122.9

Now (P1 + P2) = 17.75 + 3 = 20.75%
Now according to the question:
⇒ 20.75% of 22000
⇒ 4565
∴ Option 4 is the correct answer.
The pie chart given below shows the number of bike sold by 8 different companies. The total number of bike sold by all these 8 companies are 2000. Number of bikes sold by a particular company is shown as a percent of total number of bike sold by all these 8 companies.
What is the difference between the average number of bikes sold by P, Q, R and S and the average number of bikes sold by T, U, V and W?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 13 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCalculation:
The average number of bikes sold by P, Q, R and S = {(21 + 19 + 5 + 20)% × 2000} ÷ 4 = 325
So, the average number of bikes sold by T, U, V, and W = (2000 - 1300)/4 = 175
Now, the difference = 325 - 175 = 150
∴ The difference between the average number of bikes sold by P, Q, R and S and the average number of bikes sold by T, U, V and W is 150.
