Study Notes

Comparing Quantities

  • Comparing quantities is common in daily life.
  • Comparing heights: Heena is two times taller than Amir, or Amir's height is half of Heena's height.
  • Comparing marbles: Rita has 12 marbles and Amit has 8 marbles; Rita has 1.5 times the marbles Amit has.
  • Comparing speeds: A cheetah's speed is 6 times the speed of a man, or a man's speed is one-sixth of the cheetah's speed.
  • Comparing quantities can be expressed as how many times one quantity is of the other. This can also be inverted as what part one quantity is of the other.

Equivalent Ratios

  • Ratios with the same value can represent different situations, as long as the units are the same.
  • Ratios have no units.
  • Example: find the ratio of 3 km to 300 m. The ratio would be 10:1.

Percentages

  • Percentage means 'per hundred'.
  • Percentages are numerators of fractions with a denominator of 100.
  • 1% = 1/100 = 0.01.
  • Percentages are used for comparing results

Converting Decimals to Percentages

  • Multiply the decimal value by 100.
  • Example: 0.75 = 75%

Converting Fractions to Percentages

  • Multiply the fraction by 100%. This does not change the value of the fraction.
  • Example: 3/5 = 0.6 X 100% = 60%.

Percentages of an Amount

  • Find the number by multiplying the fraction by the total amount.
  • Example: 25% of 40 children = 0.25 × 40 = 10 children

Increase or Decrease as Percentage

  • Calculate the increase or decrease.
  • Divide the difference by the original amount.
  • Multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
  • Example: If a sweater's price dropped from ₹200 to ₹150, the decrease is ₹50. (200-150) / 200 = 0.25 X 100 = 25% decrease.

Cost Price, Selling Price, Profit and Loss

  • Cost Price (CP): The price at which an item is bought.
  • Selling Price (SP): The price at which an item is sold.
  • Profit = SP – CP
  • Loss = CP – SP
  • Profit/Loss Percentage is calculated on the Cost Price.

Simple Interest

  • Simple interest is calculated on the principal amount for a specified period.
  • Formula: Simple Interest = (P × R × T) / 100 P = Principal amount R = Rate of Interest T= Time(in years)
