Let ‘x’ people participated in the survey
∵ Only people having all three accounts participated in the survey
⇒ No. of Facebook accounts = No. of Twitter accounts = No. of Whatsapp accounts = x
Now, 85% are active on Facebook
⇒ No. of inactive Facebook accounts = (100 – 85)% of x = 15% of x = 0.15x
Similarly, 60% are active on Twitter
⇒ No. of inactive Twitter accounts = (100 – 60)% of x = 40% of x = 0.4x
Also, 95% are active on Whatsapp
⇒ No. of inactive Whatsapp accounts = (100 – 95)% of x = 5% of x = 0.05x
⇒ Total no. of inactive accounts = 0.15x + 0.4x + 0.05x = 0.6x
∵ Total no. of accounts = 3x
∴ Percentage of inactive accounts = 0.6x/3x × 100 = 20%
