Percentages

Solve for x: 45 ÷ x = 25% of 90. Find x.

A
5
B
6
C
7
D
8
Explanation and memory cue

The equation is 45 ÷ x = 25% of 90. First, calculate 25% of 90: 0.25 × 90 = 22.5. So the equation becomes 45 ÷ x = 22.5. Solving for x gives x = 45 ÷ 22.5 = 2. Among the options given (5, 6, 7, 8), none is 2, so the correct answer should be 2, which is not listed. The originally given correct answer (B: 6) is incorrect for the equation as stated. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 5 is also incorrect, but since 2 is not an option, the closest correct answer is to fix the options or question. However, based on the equation and calculation, x = 2 is the correct solution. Since 2 is not an option, the question or options need correction. The verified correct answer is A: 5 is not correct, but among the given options, none is correct. The explanation is that the correct solution is x = 2.

Ratio & Savings

MathematicsFIA

The monthly incomes of Peter and Pau are in the ratio 4:3, and their expenses are in the ratio 3:2. If each saves Rs. 600 at the end of the month, what are their monthly incomes in Rupees?

A
2300 and 1700
B
2400 and 3400
C
2400 and 1800
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

Let Peter's income be 4x and Pau's income be 3x. Their expenses are in ratio 3:2, say 3y and 2y. Since both save Rs. 600, we have 4x - 3y = 600 and 3x - 2y = 600. Solving these equations gives x = 600 and y = 800, so incomes are 2400 and 1800 respectively.
