Question

$20\%$ of the immigrant population from Europe are from France. If there are a total of $1500$ immigrants in the city, how many immigrants are from France?

• A. $50$ people
• B. $75$ people
• C. $100$ people
• D. $110$ people

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$75$ people

In the pie chart, $50\%$ immigration is from other

$\therefore$ others $=\frac{50}{100}\times 1500=750$

Then immigration from Europe,Asia and Africa is $1500-750=750$

In $750$ immigration, immigration from Europe is $50\%$ of $750$

$=\frac{50}{100}\times 750=375$

$20\%$ of the immigration from Europe are from France

$\therefore$ Immigration from France $=20\%$ of $375$

$\Rightarrow \frac{20}{100}\times 375=75$ people
