Solution

Total area of all deserts = $14350000 k m^{2}$ [as calculated in part (a)]
Total area of Asia's desrts = 1300000 + 850000 + 320000 + 310000 + 260000
= 3040000 $k m^{2}$
Hence, percentage of the total area of the deserts listed in Asia
$= \frac{T o t a l a r e a o f A s i a^{'} s d e s e r t s}{T o t a l a r e a o f a l l d e s e r t s} = \frac{3040000}{14350000} \times 100 % = 21.1 %$
