Question 64

The following table shows the percentage distribution of students in various disciplines from five different colleges.

The number of students from the discipline of Economics from college B is approximately what percentage of the number of students from the discipline of Science from the college C?

Solution

As per the given table,

Total number of student from the college B from economics section $$=40\% of 10000=\dfrac{40\times 10000}{100}=4000$$

Total number of student from the college C from science section $$=45\% of 15000=\dfrac{45\times 15000}{100}=6750$$

Hence, the required percentage $$=\dfrac{4000\times 100}{6750}=59.2 \% \cong 59$$
