The pie chart given below shows the number of soldiers in 5 barracks. The data is presented in the terms of percent. Number of soldiers in B1 = 2340.
Number of soldiers in an another barrack B6 are 30 percent more than the total number of soldiers in B2 and B4. What are the number of soldiers in B6?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
B1 = 20% = 2340 soldiers
B2 = 12%, B4 = 18%
According to the formula:
Percentage = (Part / Total) × 100
Total soldiers = 2340 × (100 / 20) = 2340 × 5 = 11700
B2 + B4 = (12% + 18%) = 30%
= 30% of 11700 = 3510
B6 = 130% of 3510
= 3510 × 130 / 100
= 4563
