Given that total % of students in school C is 21%. But you have calculated with 23%.

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Read the graph and answer the questions that follows:

In the following charts, the first pie-chart shows the percentage distribution of total students studying in different schools and the second pie-chart shows the percentage distribution of total girl students studying in these schools. (Total number of students in all the schools together is 30000 and the ratio of boys to girls is 3:2.)

What is the average of the number of boys studying in school A, B and C?
Options:
A) 2150
B) 2200
C) 2350
D) 2400
E) 2450
Solution:

Ans(b);

Boys(A) = (30000 x 0.10) - (12000 x 0.15)

             = 3000 - 1800

             = 1200


Boys(B) = (30000 x 0.09) - (12000 x 0.12)
             = 2700 - 1440

             = 1260


Boys(C) = (30000 x 0.21) - (12000 x 0.18)
             = 6300 - 2160

             =4140


Avg. = (1200 + 1260 + 4140)/3

        = 6600 /3

        = 2200

yes its 21%, a silly mistake occurred......we fixed it......

Ans(b);

Boys(A) = (30000 x 0.10) - (12000 x 0.15)
= 3000 - 1800
= 1200

Boys(B) = (30000 x 0.09) - (12000 x 0.12)
= 2700 - 1440
= 1260

Boys(C) = (30000 x 0.21) - (12000 x 0.18)
= 6300 - 2160
=4140

Avg. = (1200 + 1260 + 4140)/3
= 6600 /3
= 2200
