The given histogram shows the frequency distribution of the speed of cars passing though at a particular spot on a highway. Study the graph and answer the question that follows. The number of cars with speed between 70 km/h and 80 km/h is what percentage more than the number of the cars with speed between 50 km/h and 60 km/h? (correct to one decimal place)
The given histogram shows the frequency distribution of the speed of cars passing though at a particular spot on a highway. Study the graph and answer the question that follows. The number of cars with speed between 70 km/h and 80 km/h is what percentage more than the number of the cars with speed between 50 km/h and 60 km/h? (correct to one decimal place) Correct Answer 28.6%
Given:
The number of cars with speed between 70 - 80 km/h = 90
The number of cars with speed between 50 - 60 km/h = 70
Formula used:
Percentage increased = (greater value - smaller value)/smaller value × 100
Calculation:
Percentage increased = (greater value - smaller value)/smaller value × 100
⇒ Percentage increased = (90 - 70)/70 × 100
⇒ Percentage increased = 20/70 × 100
⇒ Percentage increased = 28.6%
∴ The percentage increase is 28.6%.
