Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

We are given the following:

1. Boys who do play video games = 1593

2. Boys who do not play video games = 858

3. Total boys = 2451

4. Girls who do play video games = 1361

5. Boys who do not play video games = 1635

6. Total Girls = 2996

7. Total number of candidates = Total boys + Total girls

=(2451 + 2996) = 5447

8. Total number of students, who play video games = 2954

9. Total number of students, who do not play video games = 2493

Percentage of boys who play video games:

$\dfrac{1593}{2451} \times 100 = 64.99\%$

So, option A is not correct.

Percentage of girls who play video games:

$\dfrac{1361}{2996} \times 100 = 45.43\%$

so option B is correct. The percentage is near about 45%,

Percentage of Total number of students, who do not play video games:

$\dfrac{2493}{5447} \times 100 = 45.77\%$

So, option C is not correct.
