PSLEThe pie charts show the number of each type of stationery in 2 stationery boxes, F and G. The total number of stationery in Box F is five times the total number of stationery in Box G.
- Find the percentage of punchers in Box F.
- What fraction of stationery in Box G is punchers?
- The number of punchers in Box F is 200. Find the number of punchers in Box G.
(a)
90°360° = 25% of stationery in Box F
Percentage of correction tapes in Box F = 25%
Percentage of punchers in Box F
= 100% - 55% - 25%
= 20%
(b)
Percentage of punchers in Box G
= 100% - 50% - 15%
= 35%
Fraction of stationery in Box G that is punchers
= 35100
=
720 (c)
20% of stationery in Box F = 200
1% of stationery in Box F = 200 ÷ 20 = 10
100% of the stationery in Box F = 100 x 10 = 1000
Number of stationery in Box G
= 1000 ÷ 5
= 200
100% of stationery in Box G = 200
1% of stationery in Box F = 200 ÷ 100 = 2
35% of stationery in Box F = 35 x 2 = 70
Number of punchers in Box G = 70
Answer(s): (a) 20%; (b)
720; (c) 70
