1)

The number of female athletes who participated from Country E in the year 2009 was approximately what percentage of the total number of athletes who participated from Country B in the year 2008 ?


A) 40%

B) 46%

C) 50%

D) 56%

E) 60%

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Number of female athletes from E in 2009 = (9.2 x 100) = 920.

Total number of athletes from B in 2008 = (11.4 + 8.4) x 100 = 19.8 x 100 = 1980.

Let 920 = x % of 1980. Then,

$\frac{x}{100}\times1980 = 920 \Rightarrow x$

= $\frac{920\times100}{1980}$

= $\frac{4600}{99}$% = 46.46% = 46%.
