The number of teachers in university B is approximately what percent of the total number of teachers in university D and university E together?
A55
B59
C49 ✓ Correct
D65
Correct answer: (C) 49
Explanation
The figure is about 49 percent, so the answer is 49.
Since university E's 29 percent is 1856, the total number of teachers is 6400.
University B has 17 percent of 6400, which is 1088.
Universities D and E together have 6 plus 29, which is 35 percent.
That is 35 percent of 6400, which is 2240.
So 1088 out of 2240 is about 49 percent.
So the answer is 49.
