The table shows the number of male and female teachers posted in the colleges of five districts of a city.
The number of male teachers in the South district is what percentage of the number of female teachers in that district (approximately)?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 107.83%
"A as a percentage of B" is \(\frac{A}{B}\times100\), with the female count as the base.
South: male teachers 1170, female teachers 1085
\(\displaystyle\frac{1170}{1085}\times100\approx107.83\%\)
