😄Welcome to Ram Prasad K S V N S Recommends — your one-stop blog for learning, earning, and simplifying life like a pro!

Ever sat in class or at home wondering, “Yeh percentage ka funda kya hai yaar?” Don’t worry, you're not alone. Percentage sounds complicated, but once you understand the basics, it’s like making Maggi — quick, easy, and tasty for the brain! 🍜🧠

👉 What is Percentage? (CBSE Class 10)

Let’s break it down in total desi style.

Percentage means "per 100".So when we say 50%, we literally mean 50 out of 100.

In maths language:

🔹 Percentage = (Part / Whole) × 100

For example, if you scored 40 out of 50 in a test: ➡️ (40 / 50) × 100 = 80%

Matlab – you nailed it with 80% marks! 🥳

📘 Real-Life Examples That You See Every Day!

Let’s spice it up with daily Indian examples:

🎯 Example 1: Shopping Offer

Flipkart says: “Get 30% off on ₹1000”👉 How much will you save?

30% of ₹1000 = (30 / 100) × 1000 = ₹300

So, you pay only ₹700. Easy paisa bachao formula! 💰

🍕 Example 2: Pizza Sharing

You and 3 friends order a large pizza sliced into 8 pieces. You eat 2 slices.

How much did you eat in %?

(2 / 8) × 100 = 25%

Arrey bhai, you just devoured 25% of the whole pizza! 😋

🏏 Example 3: Virat Kohli's Batting Average

Let’s say Virat scored 450 runs in 5 matches. His average per match is 450 ÷ 5 = 90.

🧠 Quick Tips to Remember Percentages

📌 50% = Half

📌 25% = One-fourth

📌 75% = Three-fourth

📌 10% of any number = Just divide by 10

📌 5% = Half of 10%

Example: 10% of ₹800 = ₹80 → so 5% = ₹40.
