Percentages:
A percent Is a fraction with denominator 100. i.e 1/100
Per cent is derived from Latin word ‘per centum’
meaning ‘per hundred’.
It is denoted by % symbol
1% means 1/100= .01
=========================================================
Solution:
Given:
% of People like Cricket = 60%
% of people likeFootball = 30%
% of people who like other games= 100 - (60 +
30)
= 10% people like other games.
Given:
total number of population is 50 Lakh= 50,00,000
So , Number of people who like cricket
=50,00,000 ×( 60/100) =30,00,000
Number of people who like cricket=30,00,000
Number of people who like football
=50,00,000 ×( 30/100) =15,00,000
Number of people who like football=15,00,000
Number of people who like other games
=50,00,000 ×( 10/100) =5,00,000
Number of people who like other games=5,00,000
==========================================================
Hope this will help you....
Let the total population of a city be 100%
Percentage of people who like cricket
= 60%
Percentage of people who like football
= 30%
Percentage of people who like other
games
= [ 100% - ( 60% + 30% )
= 10%
Total number of people are 50,00,000
Number of people who like cricket
= 50,00,000×( 60/100)
= 30,00,000
Number of people who like football
= 50,00,000×( 30/100)
= 15,00,000
Number of people who like other games
= 50,00,000×( 10/100)
= 5,00,000
