Question

Music stalls Games stalls Handicraft stalls Ks 3000 Food stalls Ks 4800 (a) How much money was collected by the music stalls? (b) What fraction of the total amount of money was collected by the game stalls? (c) What percentage of the total amount of money was collected by the food stalls? (d) What was the ratio of the money collected by the handicraft stalls to the money collected by the music stalls?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a. The music stalls collected Ks 3000.

b. The game stalls collected Ks 4800, which is a fraction of the total amount of money collected. To find the fraction, we can divide the amount collected by the game stalls by the total amount collected by all the stalls:

$\frac{Ks 4800}{Ks 3000 + Ks 4800 + Ks 3000} = \frac{Ks 4800}{Ks 10800} = \frac{2}{9}$

Therefore, the game stalls collected $\frac{2}{9}$ of the total amount of money.

c. The food stalls collected Ks 4800, which is a percentage of the total amount of money collected. To find the percentage, we can divide the amount collected by the food stalls by the total amount collected by all the stalls and multiply by 100%:

$\frac{Ks 4800}{Ks 3000 + Ks 4800 + Ks 3000} \times 100% = \frac{Ks 4800}{Ks 10800} \times 100% = 44.44%$

Therefore, the food stalls collected 44.44% of the total amount of money.

d. The handicraft stalls collected Ks 3000, and the music stalls collected Ks 3000. The ratio of the money collected by the handicraft stalls to the money collected by the music stalls is therefore 1:1. We can write this ratio as $\frac{1}{1} = 1$, or simply as 1.
