Question

If 119 people can read English in a village of 700 people, then what will be the percentage of people who read English? how many people can't read English and what is their percentage?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage of people who can read English is 17% and percentage of people who can't read English is 83%.

581 People cannot read English.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 119 people can read English out of 700 people in a village.

The number of people who can't read English in the village will be 700-119=581

Now,

→Percentage of people can read English= $\frac{number of people who can read}{total number of people}$ *100

⇒Percentage of people can read English=$\frac{119}{700}$ *100

⇒Percentage of people can read English=119/7

⇒Percentage of people can read English=17%

→Percentage of people who can't read English=$\frac{number of people who can't read}{total number of people}$ *100

⇒Percentage of people who can't read English= $\frac{581}{700}$ *100

⇒Percentage of people who can't read English= 581/7

⇒Percentage of people who can't read English=83%
