If 37.5% of a number is 450, 87.5% of the number will be:

A.
825
B.
1175
C.
1050
D.

Let the number be x.

Then, from the problem $\frac{3}{8}$ × x = 450.

∴ x = 450 × $\frac{8}{3}$

Hence, 87.5% of x = $\frac{7}{8}$ × x = $\frac{7}{8}$ × 450 × $\frac{8}{3}$ = 1050.

A.
8%
B.
5%
C.

A school has a student population of 560. The number of girls is 14 $\frac{2}{7}$ % of the number of boys. How many girls are in the school?

A.
100
B.
70
C.
80
D.
None of these

Answer: Option B

Explanation :

Let the number of boys be b.

Hence, the number of girls is b/7 (14 $\frac{2}{7}$ % = $\frac{1}{7}$ )

Then, from the problem,

$\frac{b}{7}$ + b = 560

⇒ 8b/7 = 560

⇒ b = 490

⇒ No. of girls = 560 – 490 = 70

Hence, option (b).
