 We will take 100 on the other side and multiply it by 24

15 x required number = 24 x 100

15 x required number = 2400

Now we will take 15 on the other side and divide it

Mr Bhardwaj's monthly earnings = ₹ 75,200

Amount paid as income tax = 10% of ₹ 75,200

= ₹ 75,200 x 10/100 = ₹ 75,200 x 10/100 = ₹7,520

Q10: In a school, there are 725 students. Out of these, 32% are girls. How many girls are there? Also, find the number of boys in the school.

Number of girls = 32% of 725 = 725 x 32/100 = 725 x 32/100 = 29 x 8 = 232.

Thus, number of boys in the school = 725 - 232 = 493.
