Successful start-ups in various industries

What should be the increase in the number (to the nearest integer) of successful start-ups in the industry of Health & Sports, so that its success percentage is the same as that of Education?

Options:

220

155

187

127

Correct Answer:

127

Explanation:

Percentage of successful startups in education = \(\frac{520}{1280}\) × 100

= \(\frac{13}{8}\) × 25

= 40.625%

Now , 40.625% of successful startups in sports & health = 40.625% of 1050

= \(\frac{40.625}{100}\) × 1050

= 426.56

So increase in startups = 426.56 - 300 = 126.56

From the options correct ans is 127
