Question

In 2017 there were enough renewable energy sources to supply a total of 9309 megawatts of electricity in a country. This graph shows the proportions that the different renewable energy sources could supply. Approximately how many megawatts of electricity could be supplied by Hydropower in 2017?
700

1700

2300

7000

Answer 1

Approximately 1700 megawatts of electricity could be supplied by Hydropower in 2017. Option B is correct.

Given that,
In 2017 there were enough renewable energy sources to supply a total of 9309 megawatts of electricity in a country. The graph shows the proportions that the different renewable energy sources could supply.

What are percentages?

the percentage is the ratio of the composition of matter to the overall composition of matter multiplied by 100.

Here, from the graph contribution of the hydropower is 18.2%.
So the electricity produced through hydropower is,
= 9309 * 18.2%
= 9309 * 18.2/100
= 1694.23
≈ 1700 megawatts

Thus, approximately 1700 megawatts of electricity could be supplied by Hydropower in 2017.
