Question 1.
Convert the fractions as percentage.
(i) $$\frac { 1 }{ 20 }$$
(ii) $$\frac { 13 }{ 25 }$$

(v) $$\frac { 27 }{ 10 }$$
(vi) $$\frac { 72 }{ 90 }$$
Solution:
(i) $$\frac { 1 }{ 20 }$$
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 20 }$$ × $$\frac { 100 }{ 100 }$$
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 20 }$$ × 100 %
= 5 %

(ii) $$\frac { 13 }{ 25 }$$
= $$\frac { 13 }{ 25 }$$ × $$\frac { 100 }{ 100 }$$
= $$\frac { 13 }{ 25 }$$ × 100 %
= 52 %

(iii) $$\frac { 45 }{ 50 }$$
= $$\frac { 45 }{ 50 }$$ × $$\frac { 100 }{ 100 }$$
= $$\frac { 45 }{ 50 }$$ × 100 %
= 90 %

(iv) $$\frac { 18 }{ 5 }$$
= $$\frac { 18 }{ 5 }$$ × $$\frac { 100 }{ 100 }$$
= $$\frac { 18 }{ 50 }$$ × 100 %
= 360 %

(iv) $$\frac { 27 }{ 10 }$$
= $$\frac { 27 }{ 10 }$$ × $$\frac { 100 }{ 100 }$$
= $$\frac { 27 }{ 10 }$$ × 100 %
= 270 %

(iv) $$\frac { 27 }{ 10 }$$
= $$\frac { 27 }{ 10 }$$ × $$\frac { 100 }{ 100 }$$
= $$\frac { 27 }{ 10 }$$ × 100 %
= 270 %

(vi) $$\frac { 72 }{ 90 }$$
= $$\frac { 72 }{ 90 }$$ × $$\frac { 100 }{ 100 }$$
= $$\frac { 72 }{ 90 }$$ × 100 %
= 80 %

Question 2.
Convert the following percentage as fractions.
(i) 50%
(ii) 75%
(iii) 250%
(iv) 30 $$\frac { 1 }{ 5 }$$ %
(v) $$\frac { 7 }{ 20 }$$ %
(vi) 90 %
Solution:
(i) 50 %
= $$\frac { 50 }{ 100 }$$
= $$\frac { 5 }{ 10 }$$
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$

(ii) 75 %
= $$\frac { 75 }{ 100 }$$
= $$\frac { 3 }{ 4 }$$

(iii) 250 %
= $$\frac { 250 }{ 100 }$$
= $$\frac { 25 }{ 10 }$$
= $$\frac { 5 }{ 2 }$$

(iv) 30 $$\frac { 1 }{ 5 }$$ %
= $$\frac{30 \frac{1}{5}}{100}=\frac{\left(\frac{151}{5}\right)}{100}$$
= $$\frac { 151 }{ 500 }$$

(v) $$\frac { 7 }{ 20 }$$ %
= $$\frac{\frac{7}{20}}{100}=\frac{7}{20 \times 100}$$
= $$\frac { 7 }{ 2000 }$$

(vi) 90 % = $$\frac { 90 }{ 100 }$$ = $$\frac { 9 }{ 10 }$$

Question 1.
Arjun borrowed a sum of ₹ 5,000 from a bank at 5% per annum. Find the interest and amount to be paid at the end of three year.
Solution:
Here Principal (P) = ₹ 5,000
Rate of interest (r) = 5 % Per annum
Time (n) = 3 years
Simple Interest I = $$\frac { pnr }{ 100 }$$
= $$\frac{5000 \times 3 \times 5}{100}$$
= ₹ 750
Amount to be paid A = P + I = ₹ 5,000 + ₹ 750 = ₹ 5,750
I = ₹ 750 ; A = ₹ 5,750

Question 2.
Shanti borrowed ₹ 6,000/- from a Bank for 7 years at 12 % per annum. What amount will clear off her debt?
Solution:
Here principal (P) = ₹ 6,000
Rate of Interest (r) = 12 % Per annum
Time (n) = 4 Years
Simple Interest (I) = $$\frac { pnr }{ 100 }$$ =
= $$\frac{6000 \times 7 \times 12}{100}$$
I = ₹ 5,040
Amount to be paid A = P + I = 6,000 + 5,040 = ₹ 11,040

Question 1.
In simple interest, a sum of money doubles itself in 10 years. In how many years it will get triple itself.
Solution:
Let the Principal be P and Rate of interest be r % per annum.
Here the number of years n = 10 years
Given in 10 years P becomes 2 P.
A = P + I
After 2 years A = 2P
i.e. 2P = P + I
2P – P = I

Now if the amount becomes triple then A = P + I = 3P
3P = P + I
3P – P = I
2P = I

∴ After 20 years the amount get tripled.
