The table gives, for five villages V1-V5, the percentage distribution of the total children and of the children attending school. Total children in all five villages = 5800; total children attending school = 3600.
| Village | Share of total children (5800) | Share of children attending school (3600) |
|---|---|---|
| V1 | 16% | 15% |
| V2 | 24% | 28% |
| V3 | 11% | 14% |
| V4 | 18% | 21% |
| V5 | 31% | 22% |
