Concepts of Percentage


Print Friendly and PDF


Definition of Per Cent:

A Fraction having Denominator 100 is called a Per Cent & is denoted by symbol %.



# To convert the Fraction into Percentage
To convert a fraction into Percentage, multiply the fraction by 100 & put % sign.
For Eg: 4/5 à 4/5 * 100 = 80%

# To convert Percentage into a Fraction
To convert a percentage into a fraction replace the % sign with 1/100 & reduce the fraction to simplest form.
For Eg: 20% à 20/100 = 1/5

# To convert Percentage into Ratio
To convert a percentage into a ratio, first convert the given percentage into a fraction in simplest form & then to a ratio.
For Eg: 25% à 25/100 = 1/4 = 1 : 4

Important Concepts:

       1.      100% of a Number = Number itself
               For eg: 100% of 500 = 500
       2.      50% of a number = Half of the number
              For eg: 50% of 500 = 500/2 = 250
       3.      25% of a number = Quarter(1/4th) of the number or Half of 50% of the number
              For eg: 25% of 500 will be 500/4 or 250/2= 125
       4.      To find the 1% of a number, shift the decimal point by 2 place to the left.
               For eg: 10% of 500 will be 5.00
       5.      To find the 10% of a number, shift the decimal point by 1 place to the left.
              For eg:10% of 500 = 50.0
       6.      5% of the number is half of 10% of a number
              For eg:5% of 500 = 50/2=25
       7.      15% of the number = Sum of 10% and 5% of a number
             For Eg: 15% of 500=(10% of 500)+(5% of 500=50 + 2 =75 


Using the above methods now we can find the percentage of a number easily:

Example:    15% of 400 = ?


Step 1: Split the percentage term into 2 numbers that we can easily find the percentage of. 
                 We can split 15% into 10% and 5%

Step 2: First find 10% of 400 by shifting the decimal point to the left by 1 place.


                i.e 10% of 400=40.0

Step 3: Now find 5% of 400 i.e half of 10% 


                i.e 5% of 400=40/2 = 20

Step 4:  Now add both the results


                  we get, 15%+5%=40 + 20 = 60
                  Therefore, 15% of 400 = 60


Important Formulas:

        1)    Percentage Increase/Decrease:
   
      ·         If the price of a commodity increases by R%, then the reduction in consumption so as not to increase the expenditure is:
= [(R/100+R) * 100]%
      ·         If the price of a commodity decreases by R%, then the increase in consumption so as not to decrease the expenditure is:
=[(R/100-R) * 100]%
    
         2)    Population:
        If the Population of a town be P now & it increasing at the rate of R% p.a, then,

·         Population after n years =  P[1+(R/100)]^n  
·         Population n years ago = P[1+(R/100)]^n

        3)     Results on Depreciation

If the present value of a machine is P & it depreciates at the rate of R% per annum. Then:
·         Value of the machine after n years= P[1-(R/100)]^n
·         Value of the machine n years ago= P/[1-(R/100)]^n

        4)    If P is R% more than Q, then Q is less than A by
={ [R/(100+R)]*100}%

        5)    If P is R% less than Q, then Q is more than A by
={ [R/(100-R)]*100}%

Learn the Following Table for Fast calculations:

1/4

1/75
1.33%
1/80
1.25%
1/90
1.11%
1/100
1%

By Using this Conversion Table we can convert Fraction into Percentage and Percentage into Fraction easily.

For Eg: To find 3/5 in %?
Solution:  As we have 1/5=20%
then, Multiply both sides by 3
i.e 1/5x3 = 3x20%

Therefore, 3/5 = 60%.

•          Practice with Stopwatch on your side: For any aspiring candidate it is a must to keep a stopwatch by their side while preparing. Apart from the tenacity of the questions, what matters is that of the allotted time for solving those questions. One needs to practice so well in the paper so that he/she can answer most number of questions that too keeping the accuracy factor in mind. This also helps you to improve your time and boosts your confidence just before the examination.
•          Skip Questions that are troubling much: There are 200 questions in the paper, and if at any point it is felt by the candidate that a certain question is troubling them much, they should immediately move away from that particular question and try and solve other known ones. Rather than sticking to any particular question, it is advisable to move along.
•          Go through Practice sets and Mock Question Papers: Mock question papers and practice sets can help the candidates to prepare for the examination effectively. By solving these sets you could have an idea of how many questions you are solving on the given time and try to improve that by applying and innovating newer techniques for solving problems through constant practice.
•          Do not go for everything: You certainly didn’t want to get in trap of ‘getting everything’ under your belt. Thus, you should set a target for yourself while you are preparing for any paper and decide how many questions you are going to attempt with accuracy to be on top of anything. You should keep an eye on quality of your answers rather than the quantity as doing this you could also avoid negative markings which can take down your chances of getting through.

You must dedicate 4- 5 hours of daily preparation and rather than making time schedule, you should list down the topics you should prepare per day. Little things like these tips will make your ride smoother:
1.         Eat Light – Start your day with a light breakfast like cereal and fruit. Avoid greasy food to spare yourself the lethargy and drowsiness that they induce. Eating light will make your body feel lighter, letting you focus better
2.         Short Study Hours, Strong Focus – If you cannot study for long hours, it is much better to sit for short hours, but with dedication! Promise yourself you’ll study well for those two hours.
3.         Take Regular Breaks – It’s always better to give yourself a break after every hour or two, than cramming everything nonstop. Give your mind time to soak it all in
4.         Take Time Out for Yourself – Constant studying makes your mind bored and unresponsive. So take time out to pamper yourself and let yourself unwind. A calm body and mind are the most receptive
5.         Unwind – When you are on a timeout, unwind with a fun, creative activity! Simple things like cooking, painting, or even a walk in the park are good ways to let your hair down. You could even rock out to your favorite music.
6.         Exercise – Take regular walks, go for runs or go gymming! Any kind of physical workout is a good break, for both your body and mind.
7.            Set Targets – Set achievable targets for yourself, like studying 4 comprehensive topics in an hour, or 7-8 small topics in an hour. This will boost your speed as your mind will not feel over taxed.
8.            Learn and Revise on the Go – Get your hands on a good book for your preparations. This will let you touch up whenever you have the free time, or just feel the need
9.            Use Flashcards – This is another great tool that will let you revise anytime, anywhere and with ease! Make flashcards of important dates, event and keywords to keep your memory fresh.
10.          Get Ample Sleep – I cannot stress the importance of sleeping enough! Make sure you are well rested so that your body doesn’t decide to rest at a time you need it the most!

Simple things like these will let you prep better for the bank Exam! Some other simple things you should note is making sure you have your id and admit card, and carrying some snack and water to the exam venue.
