Question

Oliver is searching for tourist traffic from Japan on the internet.
He developed a pie chart based on his search results. The total population of Japan is 151,550. Find the population of Japanese tourists that went to either the US or the UK.

• A. 77,775
• B. 75,575
• C. 75,775
• D. 75,755

Answer 1

The correct option is C 75,775

According to Oliver's search results:
Total population of Japan = 151,550

Percentage of Japanese tourists who went to the US = 40%
Percentage of Japanese tourists who went to the UK = 10%

So, percentage of tourists visiting the US or the UK = 40 + 10 = 50%

Now,
50% of Japan's population
$=\frac{50\times 151550}{100}=75,775$

So, out of 151,550 people, only 75,775 people went to either the US or the UK.
