1)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1721 applicants were interviewed. If 2%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

Answer: 1687


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1721

Number of selected applicants = 2% of 1721

                                                  = (2÷100) x 1721

                                                  = 0.02 x 1721

                                                  = 34

Number of non selected applicants= 1721-34

                                                        = 1687

 



2)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1264 applicants were interviewed. If 5%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

Answer: 1201


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1264

Number of selected applicants = 5% of 1264

                                                  = (5÷100) x 1264

                                                  = 0.05 x 1264

                                                  = 63

Number of non selected applicants= 1264-63

                                                        = 1201

 



3)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1002 applicants were interviewed. If 9%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

Answer: 912


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1002

Number of selected applicants = 9% of 1002

                                                  = 0.09 x 1002

                                                  = 90

Number of non selected applicants= 1002-90

                                                        = 912

                                                  = 147

Number of non selected applicants= 1467-147

                                                        = 1320

                                                  = 0.1 x 1172

                                                  = 117

Number of non selected applicants= 1172-117

                                                        = 1055

 



7)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1874 applicants were interviewed. If 2%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

Answer: 1837


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

                                                  = 0.09 x 1034

                                                  = 93

Number of non selected applicants= 1034-93

                                                        = 941

Answer: 1687


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1795

Number of selected applicants = 6% of 1795

                                                  = (6÷100) x 1795

                                                  = 0.06 x 1795

                                                  = 108

Number of non selected applicants= 1795-108

                                                        = 1687
