Study the table given below and answer the question
The table gives attendance of employees (number of employees present) on five week days in five officers, namely, A,B,C,D and E:Days Number of employees present in offices A B C D E Monday 139 147 211 141 184 Tuesday 141 189 164 189 151 Wednesday 115 141 159 156 136 Thursday 89 223 120 147 113 Friday 187 93 257 160 124
This question asks us to find the percentage by which the number of employees present in office E on Monday is more than the number of employees present in office C on Thursday. To solve this, we first need to extract the relevant attendance figures from the provided table.
To find out how much more the attendance in office E on Monday is compared to office C on Thursday, we first calculate the difference in the number of employees. Then, we calculate this difference as a percentage of the attendance in office C on Thursday (the base value for comparison).
Difference = (Employees in Office E on Monday) - (Employees in Office C on Thursday)
Difference = $184 - 120 = 64$
The formula for percentage increase is:
$$ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Original Value}} \right) \times 100 $$Here, the Original Value is the number of employees present in office C on Thursday.
Percentage Increase = $ \left( \frac{64}{120} \right) \times 100 $
Now, we simplify the fraction:
Percentage Increase = $ \left( \frac{64}{120} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{8}{15} \right) \times 100 $
Percentage Increase = $ \frac{800}{15} $
Performing the division:
Percentage Increase = $ 53.333... \% $
The number of employees present in office E on Monday is approximately 53.33% more than the number of employees present in office C on Thursday. This matches option 4.
