Study the following pie chart and answer the question. Total number of children = 5,400 Total number of Children attending School = 3,200 The total number of children NOT attending school in villages A, E and D is approximately what percentage of the total number of children in A, B and C?

Study the following pie chart and answer the question. Total number of children = 5,400 Total number of Children attending School = 3,200 The total number of children NOT attending school in villages A, E and D is approximately what percentage of the total number of children in A, B and C? Correct Answer 48

Calculation:

The given data can be tabulated as follows:

Village Children in the village Children attending school Children Not attending
Total 5400 3200 5400 – 3200 = 2200
A (28/100) × 5400 = 1512 (22/100) × 3200 = 704 1512 – 704 = 808
B (18/100) × 5400 = 972 (16/100) × 3200 = 512 972 – 512 = 460
C (14/100) × 5400 = 756 (18/100) × 3200 = 576 756 – 576 = 180
D (16/100) × 5400 = 864 (15/100) × 3200 = 480 864 – 480 = 384 
E (24/100) × 5400 = 1296 (29/100) × 3200 = 928 1296 – 928 = 368

 

Hence, total number of children not attending school from villages A, E, and D = 808 + 384 + 368 = 1560

Also, total number of children in A, B and C = 1512 + 972 + 756 = 3240

So, the required percentage = (1560/3240) × 100 ≈ 48%

∴ Total number of children not attending school in villages A, E and D is approximately 48% of the total number of children in A, B and C.
