Average = total sum of all values/No. of values.
A % B = A/B × 100
Solution
Let the total number of students qualified in 2020 be 100x.
⇒ 12x = 90
⇒ x = 7.5
The number of students qualifying from Schools E = 18x = 135
The number of students qualifying from Schools G = 12x = 90
⇒ 135 + 90 = 225
Let the total number of students qualified in 2021 be 100y.
⇒ 15y = 135
⇒ y = 9
The number of students qualifying from School B in 2021 = 8y = 72
⇒ 225/72 × 100 = 312.5%
The number of student qualifying from Schools E and G together in 2020 is 312.5% of the number of students qualifying from School B in 2021.
