Class 9 Math Quiz Questions and Answers
1.
A is 40% of B. What percentage is B of A?
A.
60%
B.
140%
C.
250%
D.
160%
Correct Answer C. 250%
Explanation If A is 40% of B, then B is 250% of A.
Here's the breakdown:
A is 40% of B. Mathematically, it can be represented as A = 0.4 * B.
If we rearrange this equation to solve for B in terms of A, we get B = A / 0.4.
Now, substitute the value of B in terms of A into the percentage equation:
B (which is A / 0.4) is what percentage of A. So, B is (A / 0.4) / A = 1 / 0.4 = 2.5 times A.
Therefore, B is 250% of A.

The price of an item increases by 20% and then decreases by 20%. So the price has:
A.
Increased by 4%
B.
Decreased by 4%
C.
Increased by 0%
D.
Increased by 40%
Correct Answer B. Decreased by 4%
Explanation The price of the item actually decreases. Here’s why:
Let’s say the original price of the item is $100.
If the price increases by 20%, it becomes $120 ($100 + 20% of $100).
Then, if this new price decreases by 20%, it becomes $96 ($120 - 20% of $120).
So, even though the percentage increase and decrease are the same, the price of the item is less than the original price because the decrease is applied to a larger amount than the increase. Therefore, the price of the item has decreased.

The ratio of girls: boys in a school is 5:7. If there are 525 girls, how many boys are there?
A.
375
B.
625
C.
735
D.
325
Correct Answer C. 735
Explanation The ratio of girls to boys in the school is 5:7. This means that for every 5 girls, there are 7 boys. If there are 525 girls, we can calculate the number of boys by setting up a proportion. We can write the proportion as 5/7 = 525/x, where x represents the number of boys. Cross-multiplying, we get 5x = 7 * 525, which simplifies to 5x = 3675. Dividing both sides by 5, we find that x = 735. Therefore, there are 735 boys in the school.

A.
$182
B.
$273
C.
$91
D.
$175
Correct Answer B. $273
Explanation David and John share the money in the ratio of 2:3. To find out how much money John gets, we need to calculate 3 parts of the ratio. Since the total number of parts is 5 (2+3), we divide the total amount of money ($455) into 5 equal parts. Each part is worth $91. Multiplying this by 3 gives us $273, which is the amount of money John gets.

B.
28
C.
-36
D.
None
Correct Answer B. 28
Explanation To solve the expression 4 * 4 - 2 * (-3) + 6 using the BODMAS (Brackets, Order, Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction) rule:
First, evaluate the multiplication and division from left to right:
4 * 4 = 16
-2 * (-3) = 6 (The double negative becomes a positive)
Now, rewrite the expression with the results: 16 + 6 + 6
Finally, perform the addition from left to right: 16 + 6 = 22
22 + 6 = 28
So, 4 * 4 - 2 * (-3) + 6 = 28.

If 2x-3y +4x-7y=0, then the value of y/x is:
A.
3/5
B.
5/3
C.
5/11
D.
-3/5
Correct Answer A. 3/5
Explanation 2x - 3y + 4x - 7y = 0
Combining like terms:
(2x + 4x) - (3y + 7y) = 0
6x - 10y = 0
Now, let's solve for y in terms of x:
10y = 6x
y = (6/10)x
Simplify the fraction:
y = (3/5)x
So, the value of y/x is 3/5.

If 2x+5y=18 and x=2, what is the value of 4x+5y:
A.
20
B.
19
C.
22
D.
21
Correct Answer C. 22
Explanation To find the value of 4x+5y, we substitute the given value of x into the equation 2x+5y=18. This gives us 2(2)+5y=18, which simplifies to 4+5y=18. By subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation, we get 5y=14. Dividing both sides by 5, we find that y=14/5. Now, we substitute the values of x and y into the expression 4x+5y, which gives us 4(2)+5(14/5)=8+14=22. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.
