The following histogram represents the daily earnings of 50 medical stores in a locality.   The difference between the percentage of medical stores whose daily earnings are less than Rs. 1,000 and the percentage of medical stores whose daily earnings are Rs. 1,200 and above is: Correct Answer 16%

Calculation:

The total number of medical stores = 50

The medical stores whose daily earning are less than Rs. 1000 = (16 + 10) = 26

The percentage of medical stores whose daily earning are less than Rs. 1000 = (26/50 × 100) = 52

The medical stores whose daily earning are Rs. 1200 and more = (8 + 6 + 4) = 18

The percentage of medical stores whose daily earning are Rs. 1200 and more = (18/50 × 100) = 36

Now,

The difference between the percentage of medical stores whose daily earnings are less than Rs. 1,000 and the percentage of medical stores whose daily earnings are Rs. 1,200 and above

⇒ (52 – 36)%

⇒ 16%

∴ The required difference is 16%
