Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:

25% is the same as 1/4 of something.

So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.

You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.

If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.

Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:

If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).

That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.

***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***

Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).

So

25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%

If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:

2+2+2+2 = 8

It checks out!


Hope this helps!

zepelin [54]

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.
