35 The number of boys is the repeated identity. Make the number of boys the same. LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.
Number of pupils who do not wear spectacles
= 9 u + 15 u
= 24 u
Total number of pupils
= 9 u + 6 u + 15 u + 20 u
= 50 u
Percentage of the pupils in the zoo who do not wear spectacles
=
2450 x 100%
= 48%
