Study the table and answer the question. The data given in the table shows the number of students studying in four different disciplines in 5 institutes. Institutes Arts Science Commerce Computer Science A 36 48 59 57 B 45 54 55 48 C 55 36 56 51 D 45 48 55 53 E 48 44 52 55 Number of students studying commerce in institute D is what percent of the total number of students of the 5 institutes? Correct Answer 5.5
Calculation:
Number of students studying commerce in institute D = 55
Total number of students in Arts = (36 + 45 + 55 + 45 + 48) = 229
Total number of students in Science = (48 + 54 + 36 + 48 + 44) = 230
Total number of students in Commerce = (59 + 55 + 56 + 55 + 52) = 277
Total number of students in Computer science = (57 + 48 + 51 + 53 + 55) = 264
Total number of students of the 5 institutes = (229 + 230 + 277 + 264) = 1000
Required percentage = (55/1000 ×100)
⇒ (55/10)
⇒ 5.5
The required percentage is 5.5
