Question

Solve the following.

Of the 5675 people in a village 5448 are literate. What is the percentage of literacy in the village?

Answer 1

Total number of people in a village = 5675

Number of literate people in a village = 5448

∴ Percentage of literacy in the village = `5448/5675 xx 100`

= `5448/227 xx 4`

= `(5448 xx 4)/227`

= `21792/227`

= 96%

Thus, the percentage of literacy rate in the village is 96%.
