Question 2.
There are 500 students in the school in Dahihanda village. If 350 of them can swim, what percent of them can swim and what percent cannot?
Solution:
Total number of students in the school = 500
Number of students who can swim = 350
Suppose A% students can swim.
∴ A = 70%
Percentage of students who cannot swim = 100% – Percentage of students who can swim .
= 100% – 70% = 30%
∴ 70% of the students can swim and 30% cannot swim.
Question 3.
If Prakash sowed jowar on 75% of the 19500 sq. m. of his land, on how many sq. m. did he actually plant jowar?
