Question

If 11% of a group of 200 people are left-handed, then calculate the number of left-handed people in the group.

• A. 11
• B. 22
• C. 110
• D. 90

Answer 1

The correct option is B 22

Total number of people in the group = 200

Percentage of left-handed people = 11%
To find the number of left-handed people, we first convert percentage into fraction form.

$\therefore 11\%=\frac{11}{100}$

So, the number of left-handed people

$=11\%of200$

$=\frac{11}{100}\times 200=11\times 2=22$
