The given pie chart represents the popularity of ice-cream flavors in the year 2005.
In 2005, if 10% of the 'other' category is mixed fruit flavor and 1570 people surveyed preferred mixed fruit flavor, then how many people were surveyed?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 1,00,000
Let the total number of people be x.
People eating other flavoured ice cream = 15.7% of x = 0.157x
People having mix flavoured ice cream = 10% of 0.157x = 0.0157x
According to the question -
0.0157x = 1570
x = 1570 ÷ 0.0157
x = 100000
