Question 7.
In a city, 30% are females, 40% are males, and the remaining are children. What percent are children?
Solution:
[100% (30% + 40%)] are children
⇒ [100% – 70% ] are children
⇒ 30% are children.

Question 8.
Out of 15,000 voters in a constituency, 60% voted. Find the percentage of voters who did not vote. Can you now find how many actually did not vote?
Solution:
Percentage of voters who voted = 60%
Percentage of voters who did not vote = (100 – 60)% = 40%
Total number of voters = 15000
Number of voters who did not vote = 40% of 15000
= ( \(\frac { 40 }{ 100 } \) × 15000 )
= 6000

Question 9.
Meeta saves ₹ 400 from her salary. If this is 10% of her salary. What is her salary?
Solution:
Let her salary be ₹ P. Then, 10% of P = 400
⇒ \(\frac { 10 }{ 100 } \) × p = 400
⇒ \(\frac { P }{ 10 } \) = 400
⇒ P = 400 × 10
⇒ P = 4000
Hence, her salary is ₹ 4000.

Question 10.
A local cricket team played 20 matches in one season. It won 25% of them. How many matches did they win?
Solution:
Out of 100, 25% matches are won. Then, out of 20, the number of matches that the team won
= \(\frac { 25 }{ 100 } \) × 20
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \) × 20
= 5
