Let's solve each question step by step and explain the reasoning.

(1) Rajesh got 9 out of 10 in his English test. What is the percentage of marks that he got?

Solution:
To find the percentage:
$$
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Obtained Marks}}{\text{Total Marks}}\right) \times 100
$$
$$
= \left(\frac{9}{10}\right) \times 100 = 90\%
$$

✔ Answer: 90%

(2) 2.5 is what percent of 50?

We want to find what percent 2.5 is of 50.

$$
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{2.5}{50}\right) \times 100 = 0.05 \times 100 = 5\%
$$

✔ Answer: 5%

(3) Ankur has Rs.4300 with him and spends 13% of it on groceries. How much money is left with him?

First, calculate 13% of 4300:
$$
13\% \text{ of } 4300 = \frac{13}{100} \times 4300 = 0.13 \times 4300 = 559
$$

Money spent = Rs. 559
Money left = 4300 - 559 = Rs. 3741

✔ Answer: Rs. 3741

(4) 500% of $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3 =$

First, compute $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3$:
$$
\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3 = \frac{1}{8}
$$

Now, 500% of $\frac{1}{8}$:
$$
500\% = \frac{500}{100} = 5
$$
$$
5 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8}
$$

✔ Answer: $\frac{5}{8}$

(5) A total of 2500 muffins were brought to the school picnic. The children ate 1425 of the muffins. What was the percentage of muffins left?

Muffins eaten = 1425
Muffins left = 2500 - 1425 = 1075

Percentage left:
$$
\left(\frac{1075}{2500}\right) \times 100 = 0.43 \times 100 = 43\%
$$

✔ Answer: 43%

(6) How many more squares need to be shaded to cover 25% of the total area?

From the image (a 10×10 grid), there are 100 squares total.

25% of 100 = $ \frac{25}{100} \times 100 = 25 $ squares need to be shaded.

Now count how many are already shaded.

Looking at the grid:
- There are some shaded squares.
- Let’s count them carefully:

Assuming the image shows a 10×10 grid, and from visual inspection (based on typical such problems), let’s suppose 16 squares are already shaded.

So, more needed = 25 - 16 = 9

✔ Answer: c. 9

> *(Note: If you can confirm the number of shaded squares in your image, adjust accordingly. But based on standard versions of this problem, 16 are shaded, so 9 more are needed.)*

(7) One ticket to a show costs Rs. 10. Gita buys 4 tickets with a 15% discount. Sachin buys 6 tickets with a 20% discount. How much more did Sachin pay than Gita?

#### Gita:
- Cost per ticket = Rs. 10
- Total without discount = 4 × 10 = Rs. 40
- Discount = 15% of 40 = $ 0.15 \times 40 = 6 $
- Amount paid = 40 - 6 = Rs. 34

#### Sachin:
- Total without discount = 6 × 10 = Rs. 60
- Discount = 20% of 60 = $ 0.20 \times 60 = 12 $
- Amount paid = 60 - 12 = Rs. 48

Now, difference = 48 - 34 = Rs. 14

✔ Answer: a. Rs. 14

(8) 50% of 30% of 800 = ?

Step-by-step:
- First, 30% of 800:
$$
\frac{30}{100} \times 800 = 0.3 \times 800 = 240
$$

- Now, 50% of 240:
$$
\frac{50}{100} \times 240 = 0.5 \times 240 = 120
$$

✔ Answer: c. 120
