Question 1.
Convert the fractions as percentage.
(i) \(\frac { 1 }{ 20 } \)
(ii) \(\frac { 13 }{ 25 } \)
(iii) (i) \(\frac { 45 }{ 50 } \)
(iv) \(\frac { 18 }{ 5 } \)
(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 %

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

(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
Samacheer Kalvi 7th Maths Solutions Term 3 Chapter 2 Percentage and Simple Interest Intext Questions 6
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.
