Answerer: C
According to the question,
25% of X is added to the 80% of X then the result
becomes to 30% of 70,
25% of x + 80 % of x = 30 % of 70
Or,x/4 +4 x/5 = 30×300/100 = 21
Or,5x + 16x/20 = 21
21x = 21×20
So, x = 20
Now,
Value of 300% of 20 = 300×20/100 = 60.
Hence, the correct option is C.

1% = 40
Total number of people who casted their votes = 40*100 = 4000
Total number of people who casted their votes = 80%
Total number of people in the town = 4000 * 100/80 = 5000
15. 50% of y is 11 more than 30% of x and the sum of 20% of x and 25% of y is 16. Find the difference between the value of x and y.
A. 20
B. 15
C. 5
D. 10
Answer: D
50/100 * y = 11 + 30/100 * x
5y – 3x = 110 ---- (1)
20/100 * x + 25/100 * y = 16
5y + 4x = 320 ---- (2)
From (1) and (2),
-7x = -210
x = 30
16. Priya spends 25% of his monthly salary on food, 50% of the remaining salary on rent and the remaining in savings. If the difference between the monthly salary spends on food and saving is Rs.1800, then find the monthly salary of Priya?
A. Rs.12000

z/4
The total savings = z * 75/100 * 50/100 = 3z/8
3z/8 – z/4 = 1800
3z – 2z = 14400
z = Rs.14400
