Mathematics Question on Recalling Ratios and Percentages

If 6060 % people in city like cricket, 3030 % like football and the remaining like other games, then what per cent of the people like other games? If the total number of people are 5050 lakh, find the exact number who like each type of game.

Answer

Percentage of people who like other games = (1006030)(100 - 60 - 30) %
= (10090)(100 - 90) % = 1010 %
Total number of people = 5050 lakhlakh
Therefore, number of people who like cricket = (60100×50)\bigg(\frac{60}{100} × 50\bigg) lakhlakh = 3030 lakhlakh

Number of people who like football = (30100×50)\bigg(\frac{30}{100} × 50\bigg) lakhlakh = 1515 lakhlakh

Number of people who like other games = (10100×50)\bigg(\frac{10}{100}× 50\bigg) lakhlakh = 55 lakhlakh
