PRESENTER NAME SIX PHRASE – The Finishing School 1 I
SESSION CONTENT
• In this session, we shall learn application of percentage concept in problems in the areas of geometry & commerce including profit / loss.
• Percentage concepts used in other areas such as alligations / mixtures are dealt under the respective session topics.

X% of a Number
An x % increase
An x% decrease
40% OF 20 MEANS 40
100𝑋20 = 8.
1) If 20% of a = b, then b% of 20 is the same as:
A.4% of a B. 5% of a C.20% of a D. None of these
20% of a = b 20
100𝑋𝑎 = 𝑏
b% of 20 = 𝑏

X% of a Number
An x % increase
An x% decrease
Increase by 40% means 140% of that number.
III.The price of a product becomes `54 after it increases by 35%. What was the original price of that product? 1)30 2)36 3)40 4)45
Increase by 35% means 135% of the price is 54. 135
100𝑋 𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 = 54 Hence the original price is 54 𝑋
100
135= 40.
X% of a Number
An x % increase
An x% decrease
Decrease by 40% means (100–40)60% of that number.
V. The price of a product is reduced to Rs.72 after it is decreased by 10%. What is the original price of the product? 1)84 2)90 3)96 4)80
Decreased by 10% means 90% of that price.
Hence the original price is 72 𝑋100
90= 80.
90
100𝑋𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 = 72
Calculating a percent changeBasically, a percent is a simple
𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡
𝑤ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑒ratio
times 100. When they ask you tocalculate percent changes, and here youhave to be very careful with order, i.e.,what’s the starting number and what’sthe ending number.
IMPORTANT: in a percent change, thestarting number is always 100%. Thus,we can say:
Percent change = 𝐴𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒
𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑋100
Here are a couple examples
a) Price increases from `400 to `500; findthe percentage increase.
Of course, that’s a change of `100, so`100 divided by starting value of `400 is
0.25, times 100 is 25%. A move from `400 to ` 500 is a 25% increase.
• b) Price decreases from ` 500 to ` 400;find the percentage decrease.
• Change is still ` 100, but now the
starting value is ` 500, and `100
500=
0.20, times 100 is 20%. A move from` 500 to ` 400 is a 20% decrease.
• BIG IDEA: Order matters. When youchange from one value to anotherand want the percentage change, itmatters which value was the startingvalue.

PERCENT CHANGE
The population of a town increased from 1,75,000 to 2,62,500 ina decade. The average percent increase of population per yearis: A.4.37% B.5% C.6% D.8.75%
Increase in 10 years = (262500 - 175000) = 87500.
Here the starting number is 175000.
Increase% =87500
175000𝑋100% = 50%.
Required average =50
10%= 5%.

TOTAL GAIN / LOSSA shopkeeper sells one transistor for Rs. 840 at a gain of 20% and another for Rs. 960 at a loss of 4%.
His total gain or loss percent is:
A. 51517

C.P. of 1st transistor = 100120
𝑥840 = Rs.700
C.P. of 2nd transistor = 10096
x 960 = Rs.1000
So, total C.P. = Rs. (700 + 1000) = Rs. 1700.
Total S.P. = Rs. (840 + 960) = Rs. 1800.
Gain % =1800 −1700

PROFIT IN MIXTUREA trader mixes 26 kg of rice at Rs. 20 per kg with 30 kgof rice of other variety at Rs. 36 per kg and sells themixture at Rs. 30 per kg.
His profit percent is:
A. No profit, no loss B. 5%
C. 8% D. 10% E. None of these
C.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (26 x 20 + 30 x 36)
