Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A political party has 150 seats in the parliament. If they lose 20% of their seats in the next election, how many seats will they have left? (2020)
  • Step 1: Identify the total number of seats the political party has, which is 150.
  • Step 2: Calculate 20% of 150. To do this, multiply 150 by 0.20 (which is the decimal form of 20%).
  • Step 3: Perform the multiplication: 0.20 * 150 = 30. This means they will lose 30 seats.
  • Step 4: Subtract the number of seats lost (30) from the total number of seats (150).
  • Step 5: Perform the subtraction: 150 - 30 = 120. This is the number of seats they will have left.
  • Percentage Calculation – Understanding how to calculate a percentage of a given number and apply it to find a new total.
  • Basic Arithmetic – Performing subtraction after calculating the percentage to find the remaining quantity.
