How many people cycled to work on a rainy day?
A24
B48 ✓ Correct
C72
D64
Correct answer: (B) 48
Explanation
The number is 48, so the answer is 48.
In all, 72 people cycle to work.
One in three of them switch to the bus on rainy days.
So the number switching is 72 divided by 3, which is 24.
The rest still cycle on a rainy day.
So those cycling are 72 minus 24, which is 48.
So the answer is 48.
