Question

In a survey of 1800 people, 289 had no qualifications. What percentage of the people had no qualifications ? Out of 124 babies attending a clinic, 81 are breast-fed. What percentage are not breast-fed ?

Answer 1

Answer: The percentage of the people had no qualifications = 16.06%

The percentage are not breast-fed = 34.68%

Explanation:

Given: Total people surveyed = 1800

Number of people who had no qualification = 289

The percentage of the people had no qualifications =
`\frac{\text{ People has no qulification}}{\text{Total qualification}}*100\%`

`=(289)/(1800)*100\%\approx 16.06\%`

Total babies = 124

Number of babies breast- fed = 81

The percentage are not breast-fed =
`\frac{\text{Babies not breast fed}}{\text{Total babies}}*100\%`

`=(124-81)/(124)*100\%\\\\=(43)/(124)*100\%\\\\\approx34.68\%`
