Answer: 1366


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1453

Number of selected applicants = 6% of 1453

                                                  = (6÷100) x 1453

                                                  = 0.06 x 1453

                                                  = 87

Number of non selected applicants= 1453-87

                                                        = 1366

 



2)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1462 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: 1433


SOLUTION 1 :

Given :

Total number of applicants = 1462

Number of selected applicants = 2% of 1462

                                                  = (2÷100) x 1462

                                                  = 0.02 x 1462

                                                  = 29

Number of non selected applicants= 1462-29

                                                        = 1433

 



3)  

 In an interview for a computer firm 1343 applicants were interviewed. If 3%of them were selected, how many applicants were selected Also find the number of applicants who were not selected.

                                                  = 0.03 x 1343

                                                  = 40

Number of non selected applicants= 1343-40

                                                        = 1303

                                                  = 80

Number of non selected applicants= 1004-80

                                                        = 924

 



7)
