Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Total number of students = 6500
Percentage of students in schools A, B, C, D, E as given in the pie chart.
Number of boys in schools A, B, C, D, E as given in the table.
Formula used:
Number of girls = Total students in a school - Number of boys in that school
Percentage of boys in schools A, C, D = (Total boys in schools A, C, D / Total girls in schools B, C, E) × 100
Calculation:
Total students in school B = (22/100) × 6500 = 1430
Total students in school C = (16/100) × 6500 = 1040
Total students in school E = (21/100) × 6500 = 1365
Number of girls in school B = 1430 - 850 = 580
Number of girls in school C = 1040 - 600 = 440
Number of girls in school E = 1365 - 765 = 600
Total girls in schools B, C, E = 580 + 440 + 600 = 1620
Total boys in schools A, C, D = 800 + 600 + 700 = 2100
⇒ Percentage = (2100 / 1620) × 100
⇒ Percentage ≈ 129.63% or 1.2963.
∴ The total number of boys in schools A, C, D is approximately 129.63% or 1.2963 of the total number of girls in schools B, C, E.
