Basic fact and Formula

Formula 1
We can express 1% as 1/100. (1 part of total 100 part).
Similarly, we can say 10% as 10/100 (10 part of total 100 part),
And 50% as 50/100 (50 part of total 100 part).

 

Formula 2
If a student get 40% marks in Math that means student got marks in math is 40 out of 100 of full marks.

 

Formula 3
To Express p/q as a percentage:

We express it as p/q = (p/qx100)% .
so we can express like 1/4 = (1/4×100)% = 25% .
and Now, 0.4 = 4/10 = (4/10 x 100)% = 40% .

 

Formula 4
If the price of a commodity increases by R%, then the reduction in consumption as not to increase the expenditure is
[R / (100 + R) x 100]%

 

Formula 5
If the price of a commodity decreases by R%, then the increase in consumption as not to decrease the expenditure is
[R / (100 – R) x 100]%

Formula 6
Results on Population
Let the population of  a town be P now and suppose it increases at the rate of R% per annual, then :

1. Population after n years = P(1 + R / 100)n

2. Population n years ago = P / (1 + R / 100)n

Formula 7
Result on Depreciation
Let the present value of a machine be P. Suppose it depreciates at the rate of R% per annual, then :

1. Value of the machine after n years =P (1 – R / 100)n

2. Value of the machine n years ago = P / (1 – R / 100)n

 

Formula 8
If A is R% more than B, then B is less than A by
[R / (100 + R) x 100]%

If A is R% less than B, then B is more than A by
[R / (100 – R) x 100]%

 

Remember this

It help in fast calculation in percentage:

1 = 100%

1/2 = 50%

1/3 = 3313%
