Answer 2

Given data : Tickets for a school exhibition were sold for Rs 10500, out of which 66.33 percent were given scholarships to poor students. The remaining amount is used to buy books for the library.

To find : How much money was used to buy books?

Solution : according to given data,

⟹ Total amount = Rs 10500

⟹ Scholarships to poor students = 66.33 %

⟹ Remaining amount is used to buy books for the library = ?

Let, scholarships to poor students be Rs x.

Now, by percentage method ;

⟹ {x/10500} * 100 = 66.33

⟹ x/10500 = 66.33/100

⟹ x/10500 = 0.6633

⟹ x = 0.6633 * 10500

⟹ x = Rs 6964.65

Now,

⟹ Amount used for buying books for the library

= Total amount - scholarships of poor students

⟹ Amount used for buying books for the library

= 10500 - 6964.65

⟹ Amount used for buying books for the library

= Rs 3535.35

Answer : Amount to be used for buying books for the library is Rs 3535.35.
