Question 66

The given pie chart represents the percentage distribution of the number of sandwiches sold by a shopkeeper on different days of a week.

The total number of sandwiches sold on Tuesday is what percentage of the total number of sandwiches sold on Saturday?

Solution

Let's assume the total number of sandwiches sold by a shopkeeper on different days of a week is 100y.

total number of sandwiches sold on Tuesday = 100y of 8% = 8y

total number of sandwiches sold on Saturday = 100y of 16% = 16y

Percentage = $$\frac{8y}{16y}\times100$$

= $$\frac{1}{2}\times100$$

= 50%
