Question

If 60% people in city like cricket, 30% like football, and the remaining like other games, then what percentage of the people like other games? If the total number of people is 50 lakh, find the exact number who like each type of game.

Answer 1

Given that percentage of people who like cricket = 60%

Percentage of people who like football = 30%

Then percentage of people who like other sports = 100 − (60 + 30)

= 100 − 90

= 10%

If total number of people = 50 lakhs

Then the number of people who like cricket = 60% of 5000000

= 50  lakhs × `60/100` = 30 lakhs

And number of people who like football = 30% of 5000000

= 50 lakhs × `30/100` = 15 lakhs

Number of people who like other sports = 10% of 500000

= 50 lakhs × `10/100` = 5 lakhs
