The table shows the percentage distribution of population across five age groups for cities A to E.

City	0-13	13-19	19-35	35-60	Above 60
A	18	12	24	30	16
B	16	18	22	29	15
C	20	20	20	25	15
D	15	18	21	26	20
E	18	15	25	24	18

If the population of the age group 0 to 13 years in city E is 16,200, then the population of the age group 0 to 13 years in city E is what percentage of the population of the age group 13 to 19 years in city E?

A60

B75

C90

D120 ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) 120

Explanation

The 0 to 13 group is 120 percent of the 13 to 19 group, so that is the answer.

In city E the 0 to 13 group is 18 percent and equals 16,200, so the total is 90,000.

The 13 to 19 group is 15 percent of 90,000, which is 13,500.

So we compare 16,200 with 13,500.

16,200 out of 13,500 is 1.2.

As a percentage that is 120 percent.
