1 .
What is 80% of £500?
£100
£200
£300
£400
80% of £500 is £500 x 0.8 = £400.
2 .
If 60% of a number is 30, what is the number?
50
20
10
40
If 60% of a number is 30, then 1% is 30 ÷ 60 = 0.5. Therefore, the number is 100 x 0.5 = 50.
3 .
In a 1:3 ratio, if the total weight is 20 kg, what is the weight of the smaller part?
5 kg
10 kg
15 kg
3 kg
In the ratio 1:3, the total parts are 4. Therefore, each part is 20kg ÷ 4 = 5kg. Hence, the smaller part (1 part) weighs 5 kg.
4 .
What is 35 as a percentage?
60%
75%
80%
50%
35 is equal to 0.6 when expressed in decimal and 60% when expressed as a percentage.
5 .
If a shirt costs £40 and there is a 25% discount, how much would it cost now?
£30
£20
£35
£15
25% of £40 is £10. Therefore, the shirt will cost £40 minus £10, which is £30.
6 .
Which of the following options represents the ratio 1:1 in percentage?
