The table shows the number of male and female teachers posted in the colleges of five districts of a city.
What percentage of the teachers in the North district are male (approximately)?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 28.86%
The base here is all the teachers of the district, male and female together, not the female teachers alone.
North: male 1075, female 2650
Total \(=1075+2650=3725\)
Percentage \(\displaystyle =\frac{1075}{3725}\times100=28.86\%\) (approximately)
