Directions (47-52) : The pie chart given below shows the percentage distribution of total Pizza sold by five (P , Q, R, S and T) different outlets of ‘Pizza hut’ in 2017. Study the pie chart given below and answer the following questions.

Total Pizza sold by P , R and S together in 2018 are what percent of total Pizza sold by P and Q together in 2017?

Correct Answer: 245%

Step-by-Step Explanation:

First, let us analyze the pie chart given in the question to extract the percentage distribution of total pizzas sold by the five different outlets in 2017:

From the pie chart, the percentage distribution of pizzas sold in 2017 is:

• Outlet P = 30%
• Outlet Q = 10%
• Outlet R = 24%
• Outlet S = 16%
• Outlet T = 20%

Step 1: Calculate the total percentage of pizzas sold by P, R, and S together

$\text{Percentage for (P + R + S)}=30\%+24\%+16\%=70\%$

Step 2: Calculate the total percentage of pizzas sold by P and Q together in 2017

$\text{Percentage for (P + Q)}=30\%+10\%=40\%$

Step 3: Find the required percentage

We need to find what percent total pizzas sold by P, R, and S together are of total pizzas sold by P and Q together:

$\text{Required Percentage}=\left(\frac{70}{40}\right)\times 100\%$

$\text{Required Percentage}=1.75\times 140=245\%$

Thus, the total pizzas sold by P, R, and S together are 245% of the total pizzas sold by P and Q together.
