Question

If $60\%$ people in a city like cricket, $30\%$ like football and the remaining like other games, then what percent of the people like other games? If the total number of people are $50$ lakh, find the exact number who like each type of game

Answer 1

Number of people who like cricket $=60\%$
Number of people who like football $=30\%$
Number of people who like other games $=100\%–(60\%+30\%)=10\%$
Now Number of people who like cricket $=60\%$ of $50,00,000$
$=\frac{60}{100}\times 50,00,000=30,00,000$
and number of people who like football $=30\%$ of $50,00,000$
$=\frac{30}{100}\times 50,00,000=15,00,000$
$\therefore$ Number of people who like other games $=10\%$ of $50,00,000$
$=\frac{10}{100}\times 50,00,000=5,00,000$
Hence, number of people who like other games are $5$ lakh.
