The table shows the data regarding the number of medals won by countries A, B, C, D, E and F in International games in 2020
Question 42
The total number of Gold medals won by countries B, D and E together is what per cent more than the total number of Bronze medals won by countries C and F (correct to one decimal place)?
Solution
The number of gold medals won by B, D, E = 14+10+12=36.
Now calculate the bronze medals won by C and F.
Bronze medals won by C:
16+6x+7x=42
13x=26
x=2
7x=14
Bronze medals won by F :
13+5y+6y=46
11y=33
y=3
6y=18
Bronze medals won by C and F=14+18=32
The percentage by which 36 is more than 32.
$$\frac{\left(36-32\right)}{32}\cdot100$$=12.5%
