Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option(A) 4100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The total names enlisted as 'below poverty level' = 574

The percentage of the villagers 'below poverty level' = 14%

To find,

The total number of villagers

Recall the formula

Percentage = $\frac{Given\ value}{Total \ value}$ ×100

Solution:

Let 'P' be the total number of villagers

Since 14% of the villagers are below the poverty level, we have

P ×14% = 574

P × $\frac{14}{100}$ = 574

P = 574 ×  \frac{100}{14}

= 41×100

= 4100

P = 4100

The total number of villagers = 4100

The correct answer is option (A) 4100.
