Which of the following statements correctly explains the meaning of 'percentage'?

A)Percentage means 'per hundred'.
B)Percentage means 'part of a whole'.
C)Percentage means 'a fraction with any denominator'.
D)Percentage means 'a decimal value less than 1'.

Step-by-step solution

Example 2medium

Convert the fraction 7/16 into a percentage. Round your answer to two decimal places if necessary.

A)43.75%
B)43.25%
C)44.75%
D)44.25%

Step-by-step solution

To convert a fraction to a percentage, we multiply it by 100.
Percentage = (7 / 16) × 100%
Percentage = 0.4375 × 100%
Percentage = 43.75%

Answer: 43.75%

Example 3hard

Rohan scored 80% marks in a test. If he had scored 15 more marks, his score would have been 90%. What was the maximum possible marks for the test?

A)120 marks
B)150 marks
C)180 marks
D)200 marks

Step-by-step solution

Let the maximum marks be 'M'. Rohan scored 80% of M.
If he scored 15 more marks, his score would be 90% of M. So, 80% of M + 15 = 90% of M.
This means 15 marks represent the difference between 90% and 80%, which is 10% of M.
Therefore, 10% of M = 15. To find M, M = (15 / 10) × 100 = 150 marks.

Answer: 150 marks
