Question

Out of 150 children 12% like playing football and 28% like playing cricket. How many children like to play football and cricket respectively?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of students who like playing football and cricket is 60.

Given:

Out of 150 students 12% like playing football and 28% like playing cricket.

To find:

How many children like to play football and cricket respectively?

Solution:

12% students like playing football.

=> 12% of 150 = 12 × 150/100 = 18 students.

Now, 28% students like playing cricket.

=> 28% of 150 = 28 × 150/100 = 42.

Total number of students who like playing football and cricket = 18+42 = 60 students.

Verification:

12% students like playing football.

28% students like playing cricket.

Total percentage of students who like playing football and cricket = 12% + 28% = 40%.

Now, 40% of 150 = 60

=> 40 × 150/100 = 60

=> 4×15 = 60

=> 60 = 60

Here, LHS = RHS.

Hence, verified.
