Question

A village has a population of 800 people, where 25% of people are below 15 years. Find the number of people in the village below 15 years.

• A. 200

Answer 1

The correct option is A 200
Total population of people = 800

Percentage of population below 15 years is $25\%$

You know,
Percentage $=\frac{Part}{Whole}\times 100\%$
$\Rightarrow 25\%=\frac{x}{800}\times 100\%$

$\Rightarrow \frac{25\times 800}{100}=x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{20000}{100}=x$

$\Rightarrow 200=x$

So, population of people below 15 years is 200.
