1)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1982 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: 1942


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1982

Number of selected applicants = 2% of 1982

                                                  = (2÷100) x 1982

                                                  = 0.02 x 1982

                                                  = 40

Number of non selected applicants= 1982-40

                                                        = 1942

 



2)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1273 applicants were interviewed. If 6%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

Answer: 1197


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1273

Number of selected applicants = 6% of 1273

                                                  = (6÷100) x 1273

                                                  = 0.06 x 1273

                                                  = 76

Number of non selected applicants= 1273-76

                                                        = 1197

 



3)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1458 applicants were interviewed. If 6%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

                                                  = 0.06 x 1458

                                                  = 87

Number of non selected applicants= 1458-87

                                                        = 1371

                                                  = 127

Number of non selected applicants= 1811-127

                                                        = 1684

                                                  = 36

Number of non selected applicants= 1806-36

                                                        = 1770

 



7)

                                                  = 0.04 x 1168

                                                  = 47

Number of non selected applicants= 1168-47

                                                        = 1121

 



9)

Number of selected applicants = 9% of 1341

                                                  = (9÷100) x 1341

                                                  = 0.09 x 1341

                                                  = 121

Number of non selected applicants= 1341-121

                                                        = 1220
