The table below shows employees of a company in 5 different towns over the period of 5 years.

Note: All figures are fictitious.

Employees from Pune in 2018 are what per cent of the total employees of all towns together in that year?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 5%.

Employees from Pune in 2018 = 179

Total employees of all towns together in 2018 = 3580

Percentage = (Part / Whole) × 100

Part = 179

Whole = 3580

So, the percentage is: (179 / 3580) × 100 = 5%

Therefore, 179 is 5% of 3580.
