Question 3: A football team won 9 matches out of the total number of matches they played. If their win percentage was 45, then how many matches did they play in all?
Answer:
Let total matches = x

Question 4: In a straight student election, Rahul got 66% of the votes polled. If the defeated student got 187 votes, find the total number of votes polled.
Answer:
Rahul got votes in student election = 66%
Defeated student got votes = (100 – 66%) = 34%
Let the total number of votes = X
According to given,
34% of x = 187
⇒ 34/100 × X = 187
⇒ X = 11 × 50
⇒ X = 550
Hence total number of votes = 550
Question 5: 36 kg of gunpowder contains 27 kg nitre, 5.4 kg charcoal and rest sulphur. Find the percentage content of sulphur in the gunpowder.
Answer:

Quantity of charcoal = 5.4 kg
Rest quantity of sulphur = 36 – (27 + 5.4)kg
