There are 850 students in a class. Out of these 44% are muslims, 28% are hindus, 10% sikhs and remaining students belong to the other communities. How many students are there of other communities?
Answers
Solution : -
Number of Muslims = 44/850 X 100
= 5.17
≈ 5(as students cant be in decimal)
No of Hindus = 28/850 X 100
= 3.29
≈ 3
No of Sikhs = 10/850 X 100
= 1.17
≈ 1
No of students from other communities = 850 - 9
= 841
Ans. 841
Given:
The total number of students in class = 850
Out of the total students,
The percentage of Muslims = 44%
The percentage of Hindus = 28%
The percentage of Sikhs = 10%
To find:
The number of students belonging to the other communities
Solution:
- To find the solution, we will follow these steps:
1. Find the percentage of students of other communities.
- Since all numbers are given in percentage, therefore they should add up to 100%.
- Let the percentage of the students belonging to other communities be x%
⇒44 + 28 + 10 + x = 100
⇒82 + x = 100
⇒ x = 18%
∴ The percentage of students belonging to other communities = 18%.
2. Find the number of students belonging to other communities.
- The number of students can be found out by finding the percentage of total students they represent.
The total number of students = 850
∴The number of students belonging to other communities = 18% of 850
⇒ × 850
⇒ 153
