If the total number of students in Class 8 is 470, and each student plays exactly one game, find the percentage of students of the class playing cricket. [Give your answer correct to two decimal places.]

55.47%

54.75%

57.45%

56.35%

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

ATQ,

Cricket  :   Football  :  Hockey

 54        :       26     :    14

According to question ,

94R = 470

1R = 5

Number of cricketer player = 54 ×  5 = 270

Required percentage = \(\frac{270}{470}\) × 100
