Example problem 1:

solving 24 percentages of 120?

Solution: Steps for fining percentages

Step 3: x% of 43=9.It can written as like  x/100(43)=9

Step 4: x/100*43=9

Step 5: X=9*(100/43)

Step 6: X=900/35

Step 7: X=22.71%

Example problem 3: Solving decreased percentages problem

A mobile was last year sold at the rate of  35000.now current year glass was sold at 2100 rate .solving the reduced (amount)percentage of mobile?

Solution:

Step 1: Given data:

Price of mobile (old price) =35000

Current price of mobile is (new price) =21000

Step 2: Reduced amount=old price of mobile – new price of mobile

Step 3: Reduced price= 35000-21000

Reduced price=14000

Step 4: Reduced percentage= (14000/35000)*100=40%

Step 5: 40% of the amount was reduced in the New Year.

Example problem 4:

A glass shop pays some amount $70 to client, and then sells glass at the price of $120.Find the percentage of markup rate?

Solution:

Step 1:Given data paid amount =$70

Sales price =$120

Step 2: First we have to find the absolute amount( difference)

Markup amount=120-70=50

Step 3: Let us consider as x is percentage (unknown value)

Step 4: Now we have to find the x% of 70 is 50

Step 5: That amount is original markup rate of glass

X% of 70=>50

Step 6: x/100*70=>50

Step 7: x=50* (100/70)

Step 8: x=71.42%

Percentage of mark rate= 71.42%
