P=
R=
B=
A)75%
B)65%
C)60%
D)40%​


Sagot :

Total Students = 240

Pupils who likes Mango = 60

Pupils who likes Orange = 84

Pupils who likes Pineapple = ?

solve for Pupils who likes Pineapple,

Pupils who likes Pineapple = 240 - (60 + 84)

Pupils who likes Pineapple = 240 - (144)

Pupils who likes Pineapple = 96

so now solve for R of Pupils who likes Pineapple, using PBR formula,

P = B × R

where,

P = 96

B = 240

R = ? × 100%

solve for R,

P = B * R

96 = 240 * R

R = 96/240

R = 0.4 x 100%

R = 40%

Therefore the answer is letter D) 40%​.
