I didn't understand this question

Question:

The table given below shows the number of applicants who have applied for the exam at various centres as a percentage of the total number of applicants. The table also shows the number online applicants and absent applicants as the percentage of total applicants of each centre. The total number of applicants is 1200000. 

  

If A equals to 15% of total applicants who are present at exam centre F and B equals to present applicants at exam centre K, then A is what per cent of B?

Options:
A)

     18.18

B)

     11.25

C)

     13.33

D)

     14.28

Solution:
Number of applicants who have applied for the exam at the centre F= 15% of 1,20,000=18,000

Number of applicants who were present for the exam at the centre F= 64% of 18, 000=11520

Now A= 15% of 11520=1728


Number of applicants who have applied for the exam at the centre K= 16% of 1,20,000=19,200

Number of applicants who were present for the exam at the centre K= 80% of 19,200=15360=B


Required %=\(\cfrac{1728}{15360}\times 100\)

=11.25%
