What is Percentage?

Percentage is basically the ratio of the value of a particular quantity to its total value multiplied by 100. It is generally a way of expressing something as per 100. Further, in this article we will look at various scenarios for which we will find the percentage and learn the steps to solve word problems based on percentage.

The Percentage is a relative value that indicates the hundredth parts of any quantity. One percent (1%) represents the one hundredth, 2 percent (2%) represents two hundredths, 100% represents the whole, 200% twice the given quantity and so on…

For example – 1 percent of 1000 mangoes is equal to 1/100 of 1000 or 10 mangoes.

Percentage Formula

We should know the percentage formulas to calculate the percentages. The basic formula used to calculate the percentage is equal to the ratio of actual value to the total value and multiply it by 100. The formula of the percentages expressed as-

  1. Percentage Calculation:
    • Percentage = (Part / Whole) × 100%
  2. Percentage Change:
    • Percentage Change = ((New Value – Old Value) / Old Value) × 100%
  3. Percentage of a Number:
    • Percentage of a Number = (Percentage / 100) × Number
  4. Percentage Profit and Loss:
    • Percentage Profit = ((Selling Price – Cost Price) / Cost Price) × 100%
    • Percentage Loss = ((Cost Price – Selling Price) / Cost Price) × 100%
  5. Discount Percentage:
    • Discount Percentage = (Discount / Marked Price) × 100%
  6. Simple Interest:
    • Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100
  7. Percentage Increase (% Increase) = (Increase in value / original value) ×100Here, Increase in value = New value – original value.
  8. Percentage Decrease (% Decrease) = (Decrease in value / original value) ×100Here, Decrease in value = Original value – New value

 How to Find Percentage? 

To estimate the percentage of any value/ data/ number, we can apply the various formulas as discussed above as per the condition applied. Let us learn the basic method to find the percentage.
A% of a data = B
Here B is the necessary percentage.
If we wish to remove the % sign, then the formula is expressed as:
A/100 * given data = B
For example:
How to calculate 20% of 60.
Let 20% of 60 = Y
20/100 * 60 = Y
Y = 12

Similarly; 8% means 8 out of every 100, or in fraction we write 8/100.
In the same way, 50% can be composed as a fraction, 1/2, or a decimal, 0.5.

(c) 700

(d) 900

(e) None of these

Show Correct Answers

Correct Answer:  (b) 600

2 . Length of a rectangle is increased by 20%. By how much percent breadth should be increased/decreased so that area remains the same.

(a) 15%

(b) 16.67%

(c) 25%

(d) 33.33%

(e) None of these

Show Correct Answers

Correct Answer:  (b) 16.67%

Explanation:  Let length of the rectangle be 50 cm

Breadth of the rectangle be y cm

New breadth be ‘b’ cm.

Original area = 50y cm2

New length = 1.2 × 50 = 60 cm

According to question,

New Area = 60b

60 × b = 50y

b = 50y/60 = 5y/6

Desired decrease = [(y – 5y/6)/y] × 100 = 1/6 × 100 = 16.67%

3. Of the 1500 residents of a village, 50% are boys of whom 30% are educated. If of all the residents, 40% are educated then what percent of the girls of the village are educated?

(a) 20%

(b) 50%

(c) 75%

(d) 30%

(e) None of these

Show Correct Answers

Correct Answer:  (b) 50%

Explanation:  Number of boys = 50% of 1500

= 50/100 x 1500

= 750

Number of females = 1500 – 750

Number of educated = 40% of 1500

= 40/100 x 1500

= 600

Number of educated males = 30% of 750

= 30/100 x 750

= 225

Number of educated females = 600 – 225 = 375

Required Percentage = 375/750 x 100 = 50%

Explanation:  X, Y and Z salaries are in the ratio 8 ∶ 5 ∶ 12.

Their salaries are increased by 10 percent, 20 percent and 30 percent respectively,

Calculation:

Let, the salary of x,y and z are  80 , 50 and 120 respectively,

Now after increasing by 10%, new salary of x is

⇒ 80 + 80 × 10 /100

⇒ 80 + 8 = 88

Same way,

Now after increasing by 20%, new salary of y is

⇒ 50 + 50 × 20 /100

⇒ 50 + 10 = 60

Now after increasing by 30%, new salary of z is

⇒ 120 + 120 × 30 /100

⇒ 120 + 36 = 156

The ratio will be,

⇒ 88 : 60 : 156 = 22 : 15 : 39

Explanation:  The current population of the town is 68,000.

The population increases by 10 percent in the first year and decreases by 5% in the second year.

Calculation:

After increases by 10 % the new population will be,

⇒ 68000 + 68000 × 10 /100

⇒ 68000 + 6800 = 74800

The second year decreases by 5%.

So ,after decreases by 5 % the new population will be,

⇒  74800  × 95 / 100 = 71060

9. From a basket full of eggs, 20% of the eggs broke, 8% were rotten and 24% were kept aside for baking a cake. The remaining 12 eggs were consumed by some people. How many eggs were there in the basket initially?

(a) 25

(b) 52

(c) 20

(d) 48

(e) None of these

Show Correct Answers

Correct Answer:  (a) 25

Explanation:  From a basket full of eggs, 20% of the eggs broke, 8% were rotten and 24% were kept aside for baking a cake.

The remaining 12 eggs were consumed by some people.

Calculation:

Let there be 100m eggs in the first place.

Number of broken eggs = 100m × 20% = 20m

Number of rotten eggs = 100m × 8% = 8m

Number of eggs kept aside = 100m × 24% = 24m

According to the question,

20m + 8m + 24m + 12 = 100m

⇒ 100m – 24m – 8m – 20m =  12

⇒ 48m = 12

⇒ m = 12/48

⇒ m = 0.25

Now, the number of egg in the first place = 100 × 0.25 = 25

∴ 25 eggs were there in the basket initially.

10. In a company, out of total employees, 60 percent are female and remaining are male. 15 percent females are from city R. Number of males who are from city R are equal to 16 percent of total employees. Males who are not from city R are what percentage of those females who are from city R?

(a) 233.33 Percent

(b) 266.66 Percent

(c) 313.33 Percent

(d) 366.66 Percent

(e) None of these

Show Correct Answers

Correct Answer:  (b) 266.66 Percent

Explanation:  In a company 60% are female and 40% are male

Concept:

Percentage of gain mark = {(Gain marks)/(Total marks)} × 100

Calculation:

Let be assume the total number of employees in a company is 100x

⇒ The male in the company = 100x × (40/100) = 40x

⇒ The female in the company = 100x × (60/100) = 60x

⇒ The number of female from city R = 60x × (15/100) = 9x

⇒ The number of male from city R = 100x × (16/100) = 16x

⇒ The number of male who does not belongs to city R = 40x – 16x = 24x

⇒ The required percentage = (24x/9x) × 100 = (2.6̅ ) × 100 = 266.666%

∴ The required result will be 266.66%.
