2774.What percentage of numbers from 1 to 70 have 1 or 9 in the units digit?
1
14
20
21
Explanation:

Clearly, the numbers which have 1 or 9 in the units digit, have squares that end in the digit 1.

Such numbers from 1 to 70 are 1, 9, 11, 19, 21, 29, 31, 39, 41, 49, 51, 59, 61, 69.

Number of such number =14

$\therefore$ Required percentage =$ \left(\dfrac{14}{70} \times 100\right) $% = 20%.

2775.Gauri went to the stationers and bought things worth Rs. 25, out of which 30 paise went on sales tax on taxable purchases. If the tax rate was 6%, then what was the cost of the tax free items?
Rs. 15
Rs. 15.70
Rs. 19.70
Rs. 20
Explanation:

Let the amount taxable purchases be Rs. $ x $.

Then, 6% of $ x $ =$ \dfrac{30}{100} $

$\Rightarrow x $ =$ \left(\dfrac{30}{100} \times\dfrac{100}{6} \right) $ = 5.

$\therefore$ Cost of tax free items = Rs. [25 - (5 + 0.30)] = Rs. 19.70

= $\dfrac{500}{2000} \times 100 $
= 25%
44323.Two successive price increases of 10% and 10% of an article are equivalent to a single price increase of
19%
20%
21%
22%
Explanation:

here , x=10 and y=10
Successive Percentage Change = (x + y + $\dfrac{xy}{100}) %$
Successive Percentage Change = (10 + 10 + $\dfrac{10 \times 10}{100}) %$
= 21%
44324.When the price of article was reduced by 20% its sale increased by 80%. What was the net effect on the revenue?
44% increase
44% decrease
66% increase
75% increase
Explanation:

here, x=80 and y=20
Successive Percentage Change = (x - y - $\dfrac{xy}{100}) %$
= (80 - 20 - $\dfrac{80 \times 20}{100}) %$
= 44%

44325.we have to increase a value 120 by 20%. What will be the final value?
165
240
144
310
Explanation:

Final Value= Initial Value + 20% of Initial Value

= 120 + 20% of 120

=120 (1+ 20%)

=120(1+20/100)

=120(1+0.2)

=120 x 1.2=144
44326.we decrease 120 by 10%. What will be the final value?
98
108
245
198
Explanation:

Final Value= Initial Value - 10% of Initial Value

= 120 - 10% of 120

=120 (1 - 10%)

=120(1-10/100)

=120(1- 0.1)

=120 x 0.9=108
