Word Problems

Q1. A coolie deposits Rs 150 monthly in his post office Savings Bank account. If this is 15% of his monthly income, find his monthly income.

Ans. Let the monthly income of a coolie be ‘x.’

Here, coolie deposits Rs 150 per month, which is 15% of his monthly income

From the above, we can derive that,

x × (15/100) =150

Which implies, x = (150 × 100) / 15

x = 15000/15

x = 1000

The monthly income is Rs 1000

Q2. Isha got 86.875% marks in the annual examination. If she got 695 marks, find the total number of student Isha marks for the examination.

Ans. Given, Marks scored by Isha are 695

And Percentage of marks Isha got was 86.875%

Now,

Let the total marks be ‘x.’

From the above, we can derive that,

x × (86.875/100) =695

Here, 86.875 can be expressed as 86875/1000

Which implies, x = (695 × 100 × 1000) / 86875

x = 6950000/86875 = 800

Total no: of Marks, x = 800

The total number of marks is 800marks

Q3. Aysha went to school for 216 days in a full year. If her attendance is 90%, find the days on which the school was opened.

Ans. Given the number of days Aysha went to school = 216 days

Aysha's Attendance percentage is = 90%

So, let the number of days when school remained open be x days

Hence,

(x × 90)/100 = 216

By using cross multiplication, we get,

x = (216×100)/90

= 240 days

Number of days the school remained open for 240 days

Q4. A garden has 2000 trees. 12% are mango trees, 18% are lemon, and the rest are orange trees. Find the number of orange trees.

Ans. Given details are,

Total number of trees = 2000

Number of mango trees = 12% of 2000

= (12/100) × 2000

= 240 trees

Number of lemon trees = 18% of 2000

= (18/100) × 2000

= 360 trees

Number of orange trees = 2000 – (Number of mango trees+ Number of lemon trees)

= 2000 – (240+360)

= 2000 – 600

= 1400 trees

The number of orange trees is 1400 trees

Q5. A balanced diet should contain 12% proteins, 25% fats, and 63% carbohydrates. If a child needs 2600 calories in this food daily, calculate the calories and the amount of each of these in his daily food intake.

Ans. The given details are,

Amount of calorie daily needed = 2600 calorie

Amount of protein needed = 12% of 2600

= (12/100) × 2600

= 312 calorie

Amount of fats needed = 25% of 2600

= (25/100) × 2600

= 650 calorie

Amount of carbohydrate needed = 63% of 2600

= (63/100) × 2600

= 1638 calorie

The amount of calories required in protein is 312 calories, fat is 650 calories, and carbohydrates is 1638 calories.
