The pie chart given below shows the number of students in the 5 schools. The data is presented in the terms of percent.
Total number of students in the given 5 schools = 30000.
Total number of students in which of the following combination of schools are 12600?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given:
Total students = 30,000
A = 18%, B = 22%, C = 20%, D = 15%, E = 25%
According to the formula:
Students = (Percentage / 100) × Total
12,600 / 30,000 = 42%
A + B = 18 + 22 = 40%
A + C = 18 + 20 = 38%
B + C = 22 + 20 = 42%
It is the combination of B and C that corresponds to 12,600 students.
