The following pie chart shows the number of emails (in hundreds) received by 8 different persons, P1 to P8.

P5 and P8 together have received what percentage of the total emails received by these 8 persons taken together?

17%

Total emails received by all 8 persons = 43 + 57 + 61 + 39 + 24 + 56 + 76 + 44

= 400

Number of emails received by P5 and P8 together = 24 + 44 = 68

Required percentage  = \(\frac{68 }{400}\) × 100

= 17%
