Mrs Tilley Keeps a variety of poultry. This pie chart shows the numbers of What each kind:

27 Geese, 72 Hens, 45 Turkeys and 36 Ducks.


32. What percentage of the poultry are hens?

33. What percentage of the poultry are geese?

34. What fraction of the poultry are ducks?

35. What fraction of the poultry are turkeys?

Answer 1

32. 40%

33. 15%

34. 1/5

35. 1/4

Explanation:

Given:

• 27 Geese
• 72 Hens
• 45 Turkeys
• 36 Ducks

⇒ Total poultry = 27 + 72 + 45 + 36 = 180

`\sf Percentage = (Part)/(Whole)* 100`

`\implies \sf Hens = (72)/(180)* 100=40 \%`

`\implies \sf Geese= (27)/(180)* 100=15 \%`

`\sf Fraction= (Part)/(Whole)`

`\implies \sf Ducks=(36)/(180)=(36 / 36)/(180 / 36)=(1)/(5)`

`\implies \sf Turkeys=(45)/(180)=(45 / 45)/(180 / 45)=(1)/(4)`

Answer 2

32. 40%

33. 15%

34. 1/5

35. 1/4

Explanation:

Question 32

• % Hens = No. of hens / Total poultry
• % Hens = 72 / 27 + 72 + 45 + 36
• % Hens = 72 / 180 = 2/5
• % Hens = 40%

Question 33

• % Geese = No. of geese / Total
• % Geese = 27/180
• % Geese = 3/20
• % Geese = 15%

Question 34

• % Ducks = No. of ducks / Total
• % Ducks = 36/180
• % Ducks = 1/5

Question 35

• % Turkeys = No. of turkeys / Total
• % Turkeys = 45/180
• % Turkeys = 1/4
