#.2.TYPE 2:

BASED ON CONSUMPTION:

1)When the Price of the Cereals increased by 50%,a family reduced its consumption .In such a way that the expenditure on Cereals was only 20% more than before.If 5 kg were consumed per month before,find the new monthly consumption?

EXPLANATION

Given that,

Let the Initial Price of the Cereals is 100

Then,the Price increased by 50%,the Price of the Cereals is Rs.150.

Then given that the family takes 5 Kg each month,

Therefore they Spend Rs.500 Per month

After increasing the price the Family reduces its consumption therefore the Expenditure increases by 20%

Therefore they Spend Rs.600 Per month

Therefore,they consumed=600/150=4 Kg

PRACTICE THIS SUM:

1)When the price of the coffee was increased by 60%,a family reduced its consumption in such a way that the expenditure on coffee was only 20% more than before.If 80 kg were consumed per month before,find the new monthly consumption?

#.3. TYPE 3:

PERCENTAGE COMBINED WITH RATIO:

1)Marks of the 2 friends Ajith & Ajeesh are in the ratio 3:5.Ajith’s weight increases by 20% and the total Marks of Ajith & Ajeesh together becomes 80,with an increase of 25%.by what percent did the marks of Ajeesh increase?

EXPLANATION

Let the Marks be,

Ajith=3x;  Ajeesh =5x

Given that Ajith increases his mark by 20%,there by the mark becomes 80

Therefore,

(3x*120)/100+Ajeesh Mark=80

Given that,after increasing the total mark increases by 25%

Therefore,

3x+5x=8x

8x*125/100=80

By solving the above equation we get

x=8

Sub X=8 in (3x*120)/100+Ajeesh Mark=80

Ajeesh Mark=80-28.8=51.2 Kg

% increase in Ajeesh Mark=(51.2-40/40 )*100

=28%

PRACTICE THIS SUM:

1)Weights of two friends Ram & Shyam are in the ratio of 4:5.Ram’s weight increase by 10% and the total weight of Ram & Shyam together becomes 82.8 kg,with an increase of 15%.By what percent did the weight of Shyam increase?
