The given pie chart shows the percentage wise distribution of books in 5 different states A, B, C, D and E. The total number of books is 2500.

What is the difference between the total number of books in states B and C together and the total number of books in states D and E together?

75

Total number of books in state B & C = 24% + 18% = 42%

Total number of books in state D & E = 25% + 20% = 45%

Required difference = 45% - 42% = 3%

Now , 3% of 2500 = \(\frac{3}{100}\) × 2500

= 75
