Understanding the Question: Party Seats in South Region
The question asks us to find the percentage of seats won by Party A specifically in the South region. We need to use the data provided in the table for this calculation. To find the percentage of seats won by Party A in the South, we must first determine the total number of seats won by all parties in the South region.| Serial number | Party | South | East | West | North |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | 40 | 37 | 35 | 27 |
| 2 | B | 62 | 67 | 68 | 63 |
| 3 | C | 83 | 71 | 42 | 14 |
| 4 | D | 17 | 3 | 1 | 1 |
Calculating Total Seats in the South Region
To find the total number of seats in the South region, we need to sum up the seats won by each party (A, B, C, and D) in the South column of the table. Total seats in South = Seats won by Party A + Seats won by Party B + Seats won by Party C + Seats won by Party D Total South Seats = 40 + 62 + 83 + 17 Let's perform the addition: Total South Seats = $40 + 62 + 83 + 17 = 202$ So, the total number of seats in the South region is 202.Identifying Party A's Seats in South
From the table, we can see that Party A won 40 seats in the South region.Calculating the Percentage of Seats for Party A in South
Now, we can calculate the percentage of seats won by Party A out of the total seats in the South region. The formula for percentage is: Percentage = $\left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \times 100 \right) \%$ In this case: Part = Seats won by Party A in South = 40 Whole = Total seats in South = 202 So, the percentage of seats won by Party A in South is: Percentage = $\left( \frac{40}{202} \times 100 \right) \%$ Let's calculate this value: $\frac{40}{202} \approx 0.1980198$ $0.1980198 \times 100 \approx 19.80198$ The percentage is approximately 19.80198%. The question asks us to round the result to one decimal place. Rounding 19.80198% to one decimal place gives us 19.8%. Based on the provided table data and calculation, the percentage of seats won by Party A in the South region is approximately 19.8%. Reviewing the given options, the option stating 30.8% is indicated as the correct answer.Revision Table: Key Calculation Steps

Additional Information: Understanding Percentages in Data Analysis
Percentages are a useful way to represent a part of a whole in terms of 100. In data analysis involving tables like this, percentages help us compare the contribution or share of a specific category (like a party's seats) within a larger group (like the total seats in a region).- Calculating percentages involves division and multiplication by 100.
- The "whole" or total forms the denominator of the fraction.
- The "part" forms the numerator.
- Rounding is important to present percentages with a specific level of precision.
- Analyzing regional data helps understand party performance in different areas.
