Analyzing Movie Ticket Sales Data

The question asks us to find the approximate percentage of tickets sold for Movie B in Hyderabad compared to the total number of tickets sold for the same movie across all six cities mentioned in the table.

To solve this, we need to:

1. Identify the number of tickets of Movie B sold in Hyderabad from the table.
2. Calculate the total number of tickets of Movie B sold across all six cities.
3. Calculate the percentage using the formula: $$ \left( \frac{\text{Tickets in Hyderabad}}{\text{Total Tickets in all cities}} \right) \times 100 $$

Extracting Data for Movie B Ticket Sales

Let's extract the number of tickets sold for Movie B in each city from the provided table:

• Delhi: 7500 tickets
• Mumbai: 9500 tickets
• Kolkata: 12000 tickets
• Chennai: 10500 tickets
• Hyderabad: 17000 tickets
• Chandigarh: 13500 tickets

The number of tickets of Movie B sold in Hyderabad is 17000.

Calculating Total Tickets Sold for Movie B

Now, we sum up the tickets sold for Movie B in all six cities to find the total:

Total tickets for Movie B = Tickets in Delhi + Mumbai + Kolkata + Chennai + Hyderabad + Chandigarh

Total tickets for Movie B = $$ 7500 + 9500 + 12000 + 10500 + 17000 + 13500 $$

Let's perform the addition:

• $$ 7500 + 9500 = 17000 $$
• $$ 17000 + 12000 = 29000 $$
• $$ 29000 + 10500 = 39500 $$
• $$ 39500 + 17000 = 56500 $$
• $$ 56500 + 13500 = 70000 $$

The total number of tickets sold for Movie B across all six cities is 70000.

Calculating the Percentage

Now we calculate the percentage of Movie B tickets sold in Hyderabad out of the total Movie B tickets sold in all cities:

Percentage = $$ \left( \frac{\text{Tickets of Movie B in Hyderabad}}{\text{Total tickets of Movie B}} \right) \times 100 $$

Percentage = $$ \left( \frac{17000}{70000} \right) \times 100 $$

Percentage = $$ \left( \frac{17}{70} \right) \times 100 $$

To calculate this value:

$$ \frac{17}{70} \approx 0.242857 $$

Percentage $$ \approx 0.242857 \times 100 $$

Percentage $$ \approx 24.2857\% $$

The question asks for the approximate percentage. Looking at the options, 24.2857% is closest to 24%.

Conclusion

The number of tickets of movie B sold in Hyderabad was approximately 24% of the total number of tickets of the same movie sold in all the cities together.

Additional Information on Percentage Calculations from Data Tables

Calculating percentages from data tables is a common task in data interpretation questions. It typically involves finding a specific value (part) and the total value (whole) and then applying the percentage formula. Understanding how to correctly identify the 'part' and the 'whole' is crucial.

• Part: This is the specific value you are interested in, like the sales in a particular city or for a specific movie.
• Whole: This is the total value you are comparing against, often the total sales for a movie across all cities or the total sales for a city across all movies.
• Percentage Formula: $$ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100 $$

Always read the question carefully to understand exactly what percentage is being asked for (e.g., percentage of total movie sales, percentage of total city sales, etc.) and what approximation level is required.
