In an aeroplane 400 passengers are board, in which 52% are Pakistani, 17% are Chinese, 12% are Iranian and rest of passengers are British.

1. Find the passengers of each country.

2. What is the percentage of British people?

Given:

Total Passengers = 400

Percentage of Pakistani Passengers = 52%

Percentage of Chinese Passengers = 17%

Percentage of Iranian Passengers = 12%

To Find:

Pakistani Passengers = ?

Chinese Passengers = ?

Iranian Passengers = ?

British Passengers = ?

Percentage of British People = ?

Formula:

Percentage = (Given Amount)/(Total Amount)  x 100

Or

Percentage = Part/Whole  x 100

Solution:

Percentage = (Passenger of Specific Country)/(Total Passengers)  x 100

 i. Pakistani Passengers:

Percentage of Pakistani Passengers = (Pakistani Passengers)/(Total Passengers)  x 100

52= (Pakistani Passengers)/400  x 100

52= (Pakistani Passengers)/400  x 100

52/100=(Pakistani Passengers)/400

52/100 x 400=Pakistani Passengers

208 = Pakistani Passengers

ii. Chinese Passengers:

Percentage of Chinese Passengers = (Chinese Passengers)/(Total Passengers)  x 100

17= (Chinese Passengers)/400  x 100

17= (Chinese Passengers)/400  x 100

17/100=(Chinese Passengers)/400

17/100 x 400=Chinese Passengers

68 = Chinese Passengers

iii. Iranian Passengers:

Percentage of Iranian Passengers = (Iranian Passengers)/(Total Passengers)  x 100

12= (Iranian Passengers)/400  x 100

12= (Iranian Passengers)/400  x 100

12/100=(Iranian Passengers)/400

12/100 x 400=Iranian Passengers

48 = Iranian Passengers

Percentage of British People:

Total Passengers % = Pakistani Passengers % + Chinese Passengers % + Iranian Passengers % + British Passengers %

100% = 52 % + 17 % + 12 % + British Passengers

100 % – 52 % – 17 % – 12 % = British Passengers

19% = British Passengers

iv. British Passengers:

Percentage of British Passengers = (British Passengers)/(Total Passengers)  x 100

19= (British Passengers)/400  x 100

19= (British Passengers)/400  x 100

19/100=(British Passengers)/400

19/100 x 400=British Passengers

76 = British Passengers
