Calculating Percentage of Children Attending School in Village V1

The question asks for the percentage of children attending school from village V1 out of the total number of children living in village V1. We are given the total number of children across all villages and the total number of children attending school across all villages, along with their percentage distributions per village.

First, let's understand the given data presented in the table:

Step 1: Calculate the total number of children in Village V1

The total number of children in all five villages is 5800. Village V1 has 16% of the total children.

Total children in V1 = Percentage distribution of children in V1 $\times$ Total number of children

Total children in V1 $= 16\% \text{ of } 5800$

Total children in V1 $= \frac{16}{100} \times 5800$

Total children in V1 $= 16 \times 58$

Total children in V1 $= 928$

So, there are 928 children in Village V1.

Step 2: Calculate the number of children attending school from Village V1

The total number of children attending school from all five villages is 3600. Village V1 contributes 15% of the total children attending school.

Children attending school from V1 = Percentage distribution of children attending school from V1 $\times$ Total number of children attending school

Children attending school from V1 $= 15\% \text{ of } 3600$

Children attending school from V1 $= \frac{15}{100} \times 3600$

Children attending school from V1 $= 15 \times 36$

Children attending school from V1 $= 540$

So, 540 children from Village V1 are attending school.

Step 3: Calculate the percentage of children attending school from V1 out of the total children in V1

We need to find what percentage the number of children attending school from V1 (540) is of the total children in V1 (928).

Percentage $= \left( \frac{\text{Number of children attending school from V1}}{\text{Total number of children in V1}} \right) \times 100\%$

Percentage $= \left( \frac{540}{928} \right) \times 100\%$

Let's perform the division:

$\frac{540}{928} \approx 0.5818965...$

Now, multiply by 100%:

Percentage $\approx 0.5818965 \times 100\%$

Percentage $\approx 58.18965\%$

The question asks for the approximate percentage. Comparing this value to the given options, 58.18965% is approximately 58%.

Thus, the number of children attending school from village V1 is approximately 58% of the total number of children from that village.

Revision Table: Key Calculations for V1 Data Interpretation

Additional Information: Understanding Percentage Distribution

Percentage distribution tables like this are common in data interpretation problems. It's important to remember that:

• Percentages represent proportions out of a specific total.
• In this case, the first percentage column (Percentage Distribution of Children) is a proportion of the total 5800 children.
• The second percentage column (Percentage Distribution of Children Attending School) is a proportion of the total 3600 children attending school.
• To find the actual number for a village, you multiply the village's percentage by the relevant total number (either 5800 or 3600).
• When calculating a percentage of one value relative to another value within the same category (like attending school vs. total population in V1), you use the calculated absolute numbers for that specific category (V1 in this case) and then find their ratio as a percentage.
