After Ali gave 110 pencils to Afzal and 75 to Amjad, he still had 315 left. What percent of his pencils did Ali give away?
Answer: 37%
Explanation
Let the total number of pencils be x.
- Pencils given to Afzal = 110
- Pencils given to Amjad = 75
- Remaining pencils = 315
So,
x - (110 + 75) = 315
x - 185 = 315
x = 500
Now, percentage of pencils given away:
(185 / 500) × 100 = 37%
