1.
In each of the following grid, find the number of coloured squares and express it
as a fraction, decimal and percentage.
Solution:
(i) Number of coloured square = 58
Total number of squares = 100
∴ Fraction : 58 / 100
Decimal : 0.58
Percentage : 58%
(ii) Number of coloured square = 53
Total number of squares = 100
∴ Fraction : 53 / 100
Decimal : 0.53
Percentage : 53%
(iii) Number of coloured square = 25
Total number of squares = 50
∴ Fraction : 25 / 50
Decimal : 25/50 × 2/2 = 50 / 100 = 0.50
Percentage : 25/50 × 100/100 = 25/50 × 100 % = 50%
(iv) Number of coloured
square = 17
Total number of squares = 25
∴ Fraction : 17/25
Decimal : 17/25 × 4/4 = 68 / 100 = 0.68
Percentage : 17/25 × 100/100 = 17 / 25 × 100% = 68%
(v) Number of coloured square = 15
Total number of squares = 30
∴ Fraction : 15 / 30
Decimal : 15/30 = 1/2 × 50/50
= 50/100 = 0.50
Percentage : 15/30 = 15/30 × 100/100 = 15/30 × 100% = 50%

A picture of chess board is given. (i) Find the percentage of the white coloured
squares. (ii) Find the percentage of grey coloured squares. (iii) Find the percentage
of the squares that have the pieces and (iv) The squares that do not have the pieces.
Solution:
(i) Total number of squares in the chess board = 64
Number of white coloured squares = 32
Percentage = ( 32/64 ) × (100/100)
= 32/64 × 100% = 50%
(ii) Grey coloured squares = 64
Percentage = 32/64 × 100/100 = 32/64 × 100% = 50%
(iii) Number of squares having pieces = 20
Total number of squares = 64
Percentage = 20/64 × 100/100
= 20/64 × 100% = 125% / 4 = 31 (1/4)%
(iv) Number of squares do not have pieces = 44
Percentage = 44/64 × 100/100
= 44 / 64 = 100% =
= 275% / 4 = 68 (3/4) %
3.
A picture of dart board is given. Find the percentage of white coloured portion
and black coloured portion.
Solution:

White coloured sector = 10
Black coloured sector = 10
Percentage of white : 10/20 × 100/100
Decimal : 10/20 × 100% = 50%
Percentage of black colour : 10/20 × 100/100
Decimal : 10/20 × 100% = 50%
4.
Write each of the following fraction as percentage.
(i)
36/50 (ii) 81/30 (iii) 42/56 (iv) 2 (1/4) (v) 1 (3/5)
Solution:
(i) 36/50 = (36/50 ) × 100/100 = 36/50 × 100% = 72%
(ii) 81/30 = ( 81/30) × 100/100 = 81/30 × 100% = 270%
(iii) 42/56 =( 42/56) × 100/100 = 42/56 × 100% = 21/28 × 100% = 75%
(iv) 2 (1/4 ) = 9/4 = 9/4 × 100/100 = (9/4) × 100% = 225%
(v) 1 (3/5) = 8/5 = 8/5 × 100/100 = 8/5 × 100% = 160%
5.
Anbu scored 436 marks out of 500 in his exams. What was the percentage he scored?

6.
Write each of the following percentage as fraction.
(i)
21% (ii) 93.1% (iii) 151% ( iv) 65% (v) 0.64%
Solution:
(i) 21% = 21/100
(ii) 93.1% = 93.1/100 = [93.1 × 10 ] / [100 × 10] = 931/1000
(iii) 151% = 151/100
(iv) 65% = 65/100 = 13/20
(v) 0.64% = [0.64 × 100] / [100 × 100] = 64/10000 = 4/625
