Illustration 1: Samir can do a job in 30 days. In how many days can he complete 70% of the job?
Sol: Now as per the question he finishes the work in 30 days, or he can do 100% of the work in 30 days. If he has to do only 70% of the work, he will require 70% of the time.
Number of days required = 30 × 70/100 = 21 days.
Illustration 2: Reshma can do 75% job in 45 days. In how many days can she complete the job?
Sol: Every work is 100% in itself. Reshma does 75% of the work in 45 days. That means she does 1% of the work in 45/75 days and she will do 100% of the work in 100 × 45/75 = 60 days.
Illustration 3: John can do a piece of work in 60 days; he will do how much of the work in 40 days?
Sol: In 1 day, John does 1/60th of the work, so in 40 days he will do 40 × 1/60 = 2/3rd of the work.
Illustration 4: Anup can finish a piece of work in 30 days. He will finish what percent of the work in 15 days?
Sol: In 1 day, he does 1/30th of the work, and in 15 days, he will do 15/30th of the work which is 100 × 15/30 = 50%.
Illustration 5: Ria can do a piece of work in 40 days, she will take how many days to finish three-fourth of the work?
Sol: Ria can complete the work in 40 days. She will do ¾th of the work in ¾th of the total time. i.e. she will need 40 × 3/4 = 30 days.
