Question 6
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.
