Pilses 250 310 320 280
Vegetables 300 320 390 370

The quantity of wheat used in the month of July is what percentage of the total quantity of food items used in June?

Options:

$29\frac{16}{17}$%

$29\frac{17}{27}$%

$29\frac{18}{27}$%

$29\frac{15}{27}$%

Correct Answer:

$29\frac{17}{27}$%

Explanation:

Total quantity of food items used in June = 180 + 420 + 200 + 250 + 300

= 1350

Quantity used of wheat in July = 400

Required percentage = \(\frac{400 }{1350}\) × 100

= 29 \(\frac{17 }{27}\)%
