Calculating Percentage of Literates in City C
The question asks us to find the percentage of literates in City C based on the data provided in the table.
First, let's look at the relevant data for City C from the table:
| City | Population | Literate | Illiterate | % of literates |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C | 150 | 50 | 100 | - |
To calculate the percentage of literates in a city, we use the following formula:
\(\text{Percentage of Literates} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Literates}}{\text{Total Population}} \right) \times 100\)
For City C, we have:
- Number of Literates = 50
- Total Population = 150
Now, let's plug these values into the formula:
\(\text{Percentage of Literates in City C} = \left( \frac{50}{150} \right) \times 100\)
Simplify the fraction:
\(\left( \frac{50}{150} \right) = \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)\)
So, the calculation becomes:
\(\text{Percentage of Literates in City C} = \left( \frac{1}{3} \right) \times 100\)
\(\text{Percentage of Literates in City C} = \frac{100}{3}\)
Performing the division:
\(\frac{100}{3} \approx 33.333...\)
The question asks us to round the percentage to one decimal place. Rounding 33.333... to one decimal place gives us 33.3.
Therefore, the percentage of literates in City C is approximately 33.3%.

| Illiterate Population | The number of people in the population who cannot read or write. |
| Percentage Calculation | Expressing a part of a whole as a fraction of 100. Formula: \(\left(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\right) \times 100\). |
Additional Information on Literacy Data Analysis
Analyzing population data like literacy rates is important for understanding the educational status of a region. The percentage of literates provides insight into how many people in a given population have basic reading and writing skills. This data can be used by governments and organizations for planning educational programs and resource allocation.
Key points to remember when working with such tables:
- Always identify the total population correctly.
- Understand what 'literate' and 'illiterate' represent in the context of the data.
- Use the correct formula for percentage calculation.
- Pay attention to rounding instructions provided in the question.
In this specific table, note that for any city, the sum of Literate and Illiterate population should ideally equal the Total Population. For City C: Literate (50) + Illiterate (100) = Total (150), which is consistent.
