various courses at graduation level. Out of these 28200 seats were for the students of
General Category while 7400 seats were reserved for SC and 3700 seats for ST. Find the
percentage of seats available for (a) students of General Category.(b) students of SC
Category and ST Category taken together.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a)57.55%

b)22.65%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total number of seats = 49000

Know to find a percentage we must know the number of things and the total number of these things

so, Percentage = (No. of seats ÷ total seats) × 100

a) General Category had 28200 seats

so, Percentage = (28200/49000) × 100

= 0.5755 × 100 = 57.55%

b) SC category had 7400 seats and ST had 3700 seats

so, altogether they had 7400 + 3700 = 11100 seats

so, their percentage will be = (11100/49000) × 100

= 0.2265 × 100 = 22.65%

Hope it helped and you understood it........All the best
