1. Ashu had 24 pages to write. By the evening, he had completed 25% of his work. 
How many pages were left? 
 
Solution: 
Given total number of pages Ashu had to write = 24 
Number of pages Ashu completed by the evening = 25% of 24  
= (25/100) × 24  
= 600/100  
= 6 
Therefore number of pages left for completion = 24 - 6 = 18 pages 
 
2. A box contains 60 eggs. Out of which 16 2/3 % are rotten ones. How many eggs are

= 16.66 % of 60 eggs 
= (16.66/100) × 60 
= 10 eggs 
Therefore number of eggs rotten = 10 
 
3. Rohit obtained 45 marks out of 80. What percent marks did he get?

Mr Virmani's monthly expenditure = salary - savings 
= Rs. (15900 - 1908)  
= Rs. 13992 
 
5. A lawyer willed his 3 sons Rs 250000 to be divided into portions 30%, 45% and 25%. 
How much did each of them inherit? 
 
Solution: 
Given total amount with the lawyer = Rs. 250000

= (30/100) × 250000  
= 7500000/100  
= Rs. 75000 
Second son's inheritance = 45% of 250000  
= (45/100) × 250000  
= 11250000/100  
= Rs. 112500 
Third son's inheritance = 25% of 250000  
= (25/100) × 250000  
= 6250000/100  
= Rs. 62500

 = (40/100) × 2400  
= 96000/100  
= 960 
Number of boys = total number of students – number of girls 
= 2400 - 960 = 1440 boys

Number of students who failed = 8% of 1650    
= (8/100) ×1650 
= (8 × 1650)/100 
= 13200/100  
Number of students failed = 132  
Number of students passed = 1650 - 132  
= 1518 
Percentage of students passed = (1518/1650) × 100  
= 0.92 × 100 = 92% 
92% of the students passed the examination.
