Passage
The table shows the percentage distribution of the population across five age groups for five cities A to E. The age groups are 0 to 13, 13 to 19, 19 to 35, 35 to 60 and above 60 years. The percentages are: City A 18, 12, 24, 30 and 16; City B 16, 18, 22, 29 and 15; City C 20, 20, 20, 25 and 15; City D 15, 18, 21, 26 and 20; City E 18, 15, 25, 24 and 18. Based on the data, answer the questions that follow.
If the total populations of city B and city E are 96,000 and 1,30,000 respectively, then the population of the age group 0 to 13 years in city E is approximately what percentage more than the population of the same age group in city B?
A47.24
B49.67
