CBSE Class 7 Comparing Quantities Worksheet with answers

Q.1) Find: (a) 50% of 164 (b) 75% of 12

Answer:

(a) 50% of 164 = (50/100) * 164 = 0.5 * 164 = 82
(b) 75% of 12 = (75/100) * 12 = 0.75 * 12 = 9

Q.2) The price of a scooter was Rs 34,000 last year. It has increased by 20% this year. What is the price now?
a) Rs 40800    b) Rs 32300    c) Rs 40000    d) none of these

Answer:

Original price = Rs 34,000
Price increase = 20% of Rs 34,000 = (20/100) * 34,000 = Rs 6,800
New price = Original price + Price increase = Rs 34,000 + Rs 6,800 = Rs 40,800

So, the price of the scooter now is Rs 40,800 (option a).

Q.3) The price of a scooter was Rs 34,000 last year. It has decreased by 5% this year. What is the price now?
a) Rs 40800    b) Rs 32300    c) Rs 40000    d) none of these

Answer:

Original price = Rs 34,000
Price decrease = 5% of Rs 34,000 = (5/100) * 34,000 = Rs 1,700
New price = Original price – Price decrease = Rs 34,000 – Rs 1,700 = Rs 32,300

So, the price of the scooter now is Rs 32,300 (option b).

Q.4) A sum amounts to Rs. 3720 in 8 months at 5% per annum simple interest. The sum is
a) Rs 3500    b) Rs 3600    c) Rs 3560    d) Rs. 3620

Answer:

The sum is:
Let the principal sum be P.
Simple Interest (SI) = P * Rate * Time / 100
3720 = P * 5 * (8/12) / 100
3720 = P * 5 * 2/3 / 100
3720 = (10P/3) / 100

Now, solve for P:
P = (3720 * 100 * 3) / (10 * 2)
P = 111600 / 20
P = Rs 5580

So, the sum is Rs 5580 (option b).

Q.5) At what rate percent per annum simple interest will a sum be double itself in 8 years?
a) 15%    b) 14%    c) 16%    d) 12 .5%   

Answer:

Let the rate be R%.
Using the formula for simple interest:
2P = P * R * 8 / 100

Now, solve for R:
2 = R * 8 / 100
2 = R * 0.08

R = 2 / 0.08
R = 25

So, the rate of interest is 25% (option a).

Q.6) At simple interest a sum becomes of itself in 5 years. The rate of interest percent per annum is
a) 8%    b) 5%    c) 10%    d) 12.5%

Answer:

Let the rate be R%.
Using the formula for simple interest:
2P = P * R * 5 / 100

Now, solve for R:
2 = R * 5 / 100
2 = R * 0.05

R = 2 / 0.05
R = 40

So, the rate of interest is 40% (option d).

Q.7) The car that I own can go 150 km with 25 litres of petrol. How far can it go with 30 litres of petrol?

Answer:

To find how far it can go with 30 litres of petrol, you can set up a proportion:
(150 km / 25 litres) = (x km / 30 litres)

Cross-multiply:
150 * 30 = 25 * x
4500 = 25 * x

Now, solve for x:
x = 4500 / 25
x = 180 km

The car can go 180 km with 30 litres of petrol.

Q.8) In a computer lab, there are 3 computers for every 6 students. How many computers will be needed for 24 students?

Answer:

To find how many computers will be needed for 24 students, you can set up a proportion:
(3 computers / 6 students) = (x computers / 24 students)

Cross-multiply:
3 * 24 = 6 * x
72 = 6 * x

Now, solve for x:
x = 72 / 6
x = 12

So, 12 computers will be needed for 24 students.

Q.9) Mala has a collection of bangles. She has 20 gold bangles and 10 silver bangles. What is the percentage of bangles of each type? Put it in the tabular form?

Answer:

To find the percentage of bangles of each type, you can put it in a tabular form:

Type of BanglesNumber of BanglesPercentage
Gold20?
Silver10?

To calculate the percentage for each type, use the formula: Percentage = (Number of Bangles of that type / Total Number of Bangles) * 100

For Gold bangles: Percentage = (20 / (20 + 10)) * 100 = (20 / 30) * 100 = (2/3) * 100 = 66.67%

For Silver bangles: Percentage = (10 / (20 + 10)) * 100 = (10 / 30) * 100 = (1/3) * 100 = 33.33%

So, Mala has approximately 66.67% gold bangles and 33.33% silver bangles.

Q.10) Out of 25 children in a class, 15 are girls. What is the percentage of girls?

Answer:

To find the percentage of girls, use the formula: Percentage = (Number of Girls / Total Number of Children) * 100

Percentage = (15 / 25) * 100 = (3/5) * 100 = 60%

So, the percentage of girls in the class is 60%.

Q.11) Convert the given decimals to per cents: (a) 0.75 (b) 0.09 (c) 0.2

Answer:

(a) 0.75 = 75% (b) 0.09 = 9% (c) 0.2 = 20%

Q.12) Out of 32 students, 8 are absent. What percent of the students are absent?

Answer:

To find the percent of students absent, use the formula: Percentage = (Number of Absent Students / Total Number of Students) * 100

Percentage = (8 / 32) * 100 = (1/4) * 100 = 25%

So, 25% of the students are absent.

Q.13) There are 25 radios, 16 of them are out of order. What percent of radios are out of order?

Answer:

To find the percent of radios out of order, use the formula: Percentage = (Number of Radios Out of Order / Total Number of Radios) * 100

Percentage = (16 / 25) * 100 = (64/100) * 100 = 64%

So, 64% of the radios are out of order.

Q.14) A shop has 500 parts, out of which 5 are defective. What percent are defective?

Answer:

Percentage = (Number of Defective Parts / Total Number of Parts) * 100

Percentage = (5 / 500) * 100 = (1/100) * 100 = 1%

So, 1% of the parts are defective.

Q.15) There are 120 voters, 90 of them voted yes. What percent voted yes?

Answer:

Percentage = (Number of Votes for “Yes” / Total Number of Voters) * 100

Percentage = (90 / 120) * 100 = (3/4) * 100 = 75%

So, 75% of the voters voted yes.

Q.16) If 65% of students in a class have a bicycle, what percent of the student do not have bicycles?

Answer:

To find the percent of students who do not have bicycles, subtract 65% from 100% (since 100% represents all the students):

Percentage without bicycles = 100% – 65% = 35%

So, 35% of the students do not have bicycles.

Q.17) We have a basket full of apples, oranges and mangoes. If 50% are apples, 30% are oranges, then what percent are mangoes?

Answer:

To find the percent of mangoes, subtract the percentages of apples and oranges from 100% (since 100% represents all the fruits):

Percentage of mangoes = 100% – 50% – 30% = 20%

So, 20% of the fruits are mangoes.

Q.18) A survey of 40 children showed that 25% liked playing football. How many children liked playing football?

Answer :

To find the number of children who liked playing football, use the formula: Number of children = (Percentage who liked football / 100) * Total number of children

Number of children = (25% / 100) * 40 = (1/4) * 40 = 10

So, 10 children liked playing football.

Q.19) In what time will Rs. 1600 amount to Rs. 1768 at 6% per annum simple interest?

Answer:

Use the formula for simple interest: Simple Interest (SI) = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100

Given: Principal (P) = Rs. 1600, Amount (A) = Rs. 1768, Rate (R) = 6%

We need to find Time (T): SI = A – P SI = Rs. 1768 – Rs. 1600 = Rs. 168

Now, plug in the values and solve for Time (T): 168 = (1600 * 6 * T) / 100

Simplify the equation: 168 = (96T)

Now, solve for T: T = 168 / 96 T = 7 / 4 T = 1.75 years

So, it will take 1.75 years for Rs. 1600 to amount to Rs. 1768 at 6% per annum simple interest.

Q.20) At what rate percent per annum simple interest will a sum be double itself in 8 years?

Answer:

Let the rate be R%. Using the formula for simple interest: 2P = P * R * 8 / 100

Now, solve for R: 2 = R * 8 / 100 2 = R * 0.08

R = 2 / 0.08 R = 25

So, the rate of interest is 25% per annum.

Q.21) At what rate percent per annum simple interest will a sum treble itself in 16 years?

Answer :

Let the rate be R%. Using the formula for simple interest: 3P = P * R * 16 / 100

Now, solve for R: 3 = R * 16 / 100 3 = R * 0.16

R = 3 / 0.16 R = 18.75

So, the rate of interest is 18.75% per annum.

Q.22) A sum amounts to Rs. 3720 in 8 months at 5% per annum simple interest. Find the sum.

Answer :

Use the formula for simple interest: Simple Interest (SI) = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100

Given: SI = Rs. 3720, Rate (R) = 5%, Time (T) = 8 months

We need to find Principal (P): SI = (P * R * T) / 100 3720 = (P * 5 * 8) / 100

Now, solve for P: 3720 = (40P) / 100

Simplify the equation: 3720 = 0.4P

Now, solve for P: P = 3720 / 0.4 P = 9300

So, the principal sum is Rs. 9300.

Q.23) A sum of Rs 10,000 is borrowed at a rate of interest 15% per annum for 2 years. Find the simple interest on this sum and the amount to be paid at the end of 2 years.

Answer:

Use the formula for simple interest: Simple Interest (SI) = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100

Given: Principal (P) = Rs 10,000, Rate (R) = 15%, Time (T) = 2 years

Calculate SI: SI = (10,000 * 15 * 2) / 100 SI = (30,000) / 100 SI = Rs 300

Now, to find the amount (A) to be paid at the end of 2 years, add the principal and the interest: A = P + SI A = 10,000 + 300 A = Rs 10,300

So, the simple interest is Rs 300, and the amount to be paid at the end of 2 years is Rs 10,300.

Q.24) A man got a 10% increase in his salary. If his new salary is Rs 1,54,000, find his original salary.

Answer:

Let the original salary be X. Increase in salary = 10% of X New salary = X + Increase in salary

Given: New salary = Rs 1,54,000

We need to find X: X + 0.10X = 1,54,000 1.10X = 1,54,000

Now, solve for X: X = 1,54,000 / 1.10 X = Rs 1,40,000

So, his original salary was Rs 1,40,000.
