Explanation:
If 50% people in city like cricket, 40% like football and the remaining like other games, then what
per cent of the people like other games? If the total number of people are 50 lakh, find the exact
number who like each
Given:
50% of people of a city like cricket, 40% like football and the remaining percentage like other games. Total no. of people in the city is 50 lakh.
To Find:
The exact no. of people who like each type of game.
Solution:
Percentage of people liking cricket,
= 50%
Percentage of people liking football,
= 40%
Percentage of people liking other games,
= 100% - (50% + 40%)
= 100% - 90%
= 10%
Total no. of people in the city,
= 50 lakh
= 50,00,000
Formula:
No. of people = Total people × Given percentage / 100%
No. of people liking cricket,
= 50,00,000 × 50/100%
= 50,000 × 50
= 25,00,000
No. of people liking football,
= 50,00,000 × 40/100%
= 50,000 × 40
= 20,00,000
No. of people liking other games,
= 50,00,000 × 10/100%
= 50,000 × 10
= 5,00,000
Answer:
There are 25 lakh people liking cricket, 20 lakh people liking football and 5 lakh people liking other games in the city.
