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 is 50 lakh, find the exact number who like each type of game.
Solution:
Percentage of people who like cricket = 60%
Percentage of people who like football = 30%
Total number of people = 50 lakhs
Since the whole is considered as 100%, percentage of people who like other games is 100% - (60 + 30)% = 10%
Number of people who like cricket = 60% of 50 lakhs
= (60/100) × 5000000
= 3000000
= 30 lakhs
Number of people who like football = 30% of 50 lakhs
= (30/100) × 5000000
= 1500000
= 15 lakhs
Number of people who like other games = 10% of 50 lakhs
= (10/100) × 5000000
= 500000
= 5 lakhs
