The total number of chairs of colour C3 sold are what percentage of all the chairs of these 5 colours sold, both plastic and steel ones put together? [Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.]

Options:

17.75%

20.75%

14.75%

23.75%

Correct Answer:

20.75%

Explanation:

Total chairs sold of C3 = 8 + 14 = 22

Total number of chairs of both plastic and steel = 10 + 12 + 12 + 6 + 8 + 14 + 6 + 18 + 9 + 11

= 106

Required percentage = \(\frac{22 }{106}\) × 100

= 20.75%
