Question

Department started out with 100 pencils and 200 pens during the lat quarter of this year they lost 4% of the pens and 2% of the pencils what is the What is the remaining of the pencil and pans at the end of the year

Answer 1

The remaining number of the pencil = 98

The remaining number of the pens = 192

Explanation:

Here, according to the question:

The number of pencils at the starting at the quarter = 100

The percentage of the lost pencil over the year = 2%

Now, calculating the lost pencil, we get:

2% of 100 =
`(2)/(100)  * 100 = 2`

⇒The number of lost pencil over the year = 2

So,Number of remaining Pencil = Total pencil - Number of pencil lost

= 100 - 2 = 98

The number of pens at the starting at the quarter = 200

The percentage of the lost pens over the year = 4%

Now, calculating the lost pens, we get:

4% of 200 =
`(4)/(100)  * 200 = 8`

⇒The number of lost pens over the year = 8

So,Number of remaining Pens = Total pens - Number of pens lost

= 200 - 8 = 192

Hence, the remaining number of the pencil = 98

And and the remaining number of the pens at the end of the year = 192
