Passage
The following table shows the percentage distribution of the number of readers of an IT magazine in the years 2019 and 2023 among six different cities A to F. The city-wise percentage of readers is: City A, 10 percent in 2019 and 15 percent in 2023; City B, 14 percent and 16 percent; City C, 17 percent and 28 percent; City D, 9 percent and 10 percent; City E, 24 percent and 9 percent; City F, 26 percent and 22 percent. Based on the data in the table, answer the questions that follow.
If the total number of readers from all six cities A-F together in the year 2023 was 50,000, then the number of readers was more than 7,400 in exactly how many cities in that year?
A2
B3
C4 ✓ Correct
D5
Correct answer: (C) 4 — Exactly 4 cities had more than 7,400 readers, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Exactly 4 cities had more than 7,400 readers, so that is the answer.
★A count of 7,400 out of a total of 50,000 is 14.8 percent.
★So a city needs a 2023 share above 14.8 percent to exceed 7,400 readers.
★City A has 15, City C has 28, City F has 22 and City B has 16 percent, all above 14.8.
★City D has 10 and City E has 9 percent, both below 14.8.
★So exactly four cities, A, B, C and F, had more than 7,400 readers.
