| Food Item | March | April | May | June |
| A | 220 | 180 | 270 | 320 |
| B | 255 | 320 | 390 | 420 |
| C | 280 | 295 | 280 | 315 |
| D | 350 | 310 | 250 | 280 |
| E | 308 | 340 | 350 | 365 |
The quantity of E used in March is what percentage of the total quantity of food items used in May?
Option 1: 20%
Option 2: 14%
Option 3: 12.3%
Option 4: 17.8%
Correct Answer: 20%
Solution :
The quantity of E used in March = 308
The total quantity of food items used in May = 270 + 390 + 280 + 250 + 350 = 1540
$\therefore$ Required percentage = $\frac{\text{The quantity of E used in March}}{\text{The total quantity of food items used in May}}\times100$
= $\frac{308}{1540}\times100$
= $20\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
