In an election only two candidates contested. A candidate secured 70% of the valid votes and won by a majority of 172 votes. Find the total number of valid votes?

In an election only two candidates contested. A candidate secured 70% of the valid votes and won by a majority of 172 votes. Find the total number of valid votes?

A. 430
B. 570
C. 480
D. 520
E. None of these
Explanation:
Let the total number of valid votes be x.
70% of x = 70/100 * x = 7x/10
Number of votes secured by the other candidate = x – 7x/100 = 3x/10
Given, 7x/10 – 3x/10 = 172 => 4x/10 = 172
=> 4x = 1720 => x = 430.

If 20% of a number, then 120% of that number will be_________?

If 20% of a number, then 120% of that number will be_________?

A. 20
B. 120
C. 360
D. 720
Explanation:
Let the number x. Then,
20% of x = 120
x = (120 * 100)/20 = 600
120% of x = (120/100 * 600) = 720.

In a mixture of milk and water, the proportion of milk by weight was 80%. If, in a 180 gm mixture, 36 gms of pure milk is added, what would be the percentage of milk in the mixture formed?

In a mixture of milk and water, the proportion of milk by weight was 80%. If, in a 180 gm mixture, 36 gms of pure milk is added, what would be the percentage of milk in the mixture formed?

A. 80%
B. 100%
C. 84%
D. 87.5%
E. None of these

Explanation:
Percentage of milk in the mixture formed = [80/100 (180) + 36] / (180 + 36) * 100% = (144 + 36)/216 * 100% = 5/6 * 100% = 83.33%.
