Question

The below circle graph shows the breed of $60$ cats in a shelter home.
There are British Shorthair cats in the shelter home.

• A. $12$
• B. $25$
• C. $30$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $12$

From the circle graph/pie chart, it is clear that the percentage of British Shorthair cats is $20\%$.

$\therefore$ The number of British Shorthair cats out of $60$ cats in the shelter home is

$20\%\text{of}60=\frac{20}{100}\times 60=\frac{60}{5}=12$

Hence, there are $12$ British Shorthair cats out of $60$ cats in the shelter home.
