Given data:

Number of workers

Daily wages (Rs)

30

400 - 450

45

450 – 500

65

500 – 550

60

550 – 600

55

600 – 650

35

650 - 700  

Formula used:

% difference = [(Difference in the number of workers having daily wages less than Rs 500 and those having wages Rs 650 and above) / (Workers with daily wages Rs 650 and above)] × 100

Calculations:

Workers with daily wages less than Rs 500 = 30 + 45 = 75

Workers with daily wages Rs 650 and above = 35

Difference in the number of workers having daily wages less than Rs 500 and those having wages Rs 650 and above = 75 – 35 = 40

% difference =  × 100 = 114.3%

The answer is 114.3 %.
