In a meeting," $\frac{4}{25}$ of the members were female. What percent of the members was this?

16%

Let the total number of members in meeting = $x$
Then, the total number of females in meeting= $\frac{4 x}{25}$

Required percentage = $\frac{N u m b e r o f f e m a l e s}{T o t a l n u m b e r o f m e m b e r s} \times 100$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{4 x}{25}}{x} \times 100 % = 16$

"Errors play a crucial role in learning of Mathematics." This statement is

True, because errors reflect the thinking of child
false, because mathematics is exact
true, because errors provide feedback about the marks they obtained
false, because errors occur due to carelessness

True, because errors reflect the thinking of child

The errors are the windows of a child's thinking, the error they make represent the way they are thinking with respect to an idea.

15.

A shop reduced its prices by 10%. What is the new price of an item which was previously sold for $₹$ 500?

$₹$ 550
$₹$ 450
$₹$ 400
$₹$ 510

$₹$ 450

Given, the original price of an item= $₹ 500$

and reduced percentage = $10 %$

$∴$ New price item= $o r i g i n a l p r i c e \times \frac{(100 - r e d u c e d p e r c e n t a g e)}{100}$

= $500 \times \frac{(100 - 10}{100}$

= $500 \times \frac{90}{100}$ = $₹ 450$
