Answer 1

Given:

✰ Total number of candies = 160

✰ Percentage of candies given to Ronak = 35%

✰ Percentage of candies given to Raj = 12%

✰ Percentage of candies given to Manish = 18%

✰ Rest all were given to Praful.

To find:

✠ How many candies did Praful receive?

Solution:

Let's understand the concept first! First we will convert the percentage of candies given to different people into simple decimal number, then we will add them all. After that we will substract the sum of number of candies given to different people from the total number of candies to get the number of candies Praful received.

Let's find out...♪

Total number of candies = 160

➛ Percentage of candies given to Ronak = 35%

➛ Number of candies given to Ronak = 35% of 160

➛Number of candies given to Ronak = 35/100 × 160

➛ Number of candies given to Ronak = 7 × 8

➛ Number of candies given to Ronak = 56

➛ Percentage of candies given to Raj = 12%

➛ Number of candies given to Raj = 12% of 160

➛ Number of candies given to Raj = 12/100 × 160

➛ Number of candies given to Raj = 6/5 × 16

➛ Number of candies given to Raj = 19.2

➛ Percentage of candies given to Manish = 18%

➛ Number of candies given to Manish = 18% of 160

➛ Number of candies given to Manish = 18/100 × 160

➛ Number of candies given to Manish = 9/5 × 16

➛ Number of candies given to Manish = 28.8

Now,

⟹ The sum of number of candies given to different people = 56 + 19.2 + 28.8

⟹ The sum of number of candies given to different people = 104

➤ The number of candies Praful received = Total number of candies - The sum of number of candies given to different people

➤ The number of candies Praful received = 160 - 104

➤ The number of candies Praful received = 56

∴ The number of candies Praful received = 56.0
