The pie chart given below shows the production of 5 articles by a company. The data is presented in the terms of percent.
Total production of P1, P2 and P3 = 9000.
How much is the production of P5?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given:
P1 = 20%, P2 = 10%, P3 = 15%
Production of P1 + P2 + P3 = 9000
According to the formula:
Percentage = (Part / Total) × 100
P1 + P2 + P3 = 20 + 10 + 15 = 45%
45% = 9000
100% = (9000 × 100) / 45 = 20000
P5 = 43% of 20000
= (43/100) × 20000
= 8600
