Question 64

The Pie-chart given here shows the percentage of candidates selected in an Examination from 2012 to 2016.

The total selected candidates in 2015 is how much percent less than the total selected candidates in 2013?

Solution

The total selected candidates in 2015 = 720 of 10%

= 72    Eq.(i)

Total selected candidates in 2013 = 720 of 25%

= $$720\times\frac{25}{100}$$

= $$720\times\frac{1}{4}$$

= 180    Eq.(ii)

percentage less = $$\frac{\left(Eq.(ii)-Eq.(i)\right)}{Eq.(ii)}\times\ 100$$

= $$\frac{\left(180-72\right)}{180}\times\ 100$$

= $$\frac{108}{180}\times\ 100$$

= $$\frac{108}{18}\times10$$

= 60%
