Study the given table and answer the question that follows.

The table shows quantity of various food items used by a resturant during four months of a year (in kg.)

The quantity of wheat used in the month of July is what percentage of the total quantity of food items used in June?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 29 $\frac{17}{27}$ %

According to the question,

The quantity of wheat used in the month of July = 400 kg

The total quantity of food items used in June = 180 + 420 + 200 + 250 + 300 = 1350 kg

Now percentage

⇒ (The quantity of wheat used in the month of July)/(the total quantity of food items used in June) × 100

⇒ (400)/(1350) × 100

⇒ 0.2962 × 100 = 29.62% or 29 $\frac{17}{27}$ %
