The table given below shows the number of cars (M1) and number of bikes (M2) parked in 4 parking areas A, B, C and D. Number of bikes parked are shown as a percent of total number of vehicles (cars and bikes) parked in the parking area.
What are the total number of vehicles (bikes and cars) parked in A and B together?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given:
In A: Cars = 700, Bikes = 30%
In B: Cars = 1800, Bikes = 10%
According to the formula:
Bike % = (Number of Bikes / Total Vehicles) × 100
For A:
30% = Bikes / Total ⇒ Cars = 70%
Total Vehicles = 700 / 0.70 = 1000
For B:
10% = Bikes / Total ⇒ Cars = 90%
Total Vehicles = 1800 / 0.90 = 2000
Total (A + B) = 1000 + 2000 = 3000
