The total tractors in a State. are 294000, out of which 150000 are made by Mahindra & Mahindra. Out of every 1000: Mahindra tractors, 98 are red in colour, But only 5.3% of the total tractors are red. Find the percentage of non-Mahindrer tractors that are red.

Solution

Total tractors = 294000

Mahindra & Mahindra tractors = 150000

Non-Mahindra tractors = 294000 - 150000 = 144000

Total red colour Mahindra tractors = 150000 * $$\frac{98}{100} = 147000$$

Total red colour tractors = 53% of 294000 = 155820

Total red colour Non-Mahindra tractors = 155820 - 147000 = 8820

Required percent = $$\frac{8820}{144000} * 100 = 6.125$$%
