No. of people who prefer piano = 9% of 60000 = 5400
According to question, 16(2/3)% no. of the people who prefer piano would go with flute.
Therefore, (50/3)% of 5400 = 900
Hence, the required percentage

Profit during 2007 = (50 – 40) = 10
Difference = 25 – 10 = 15
Profit during 2007 = (50 – 40) = 10
Difference = 25 – 10 = 15

| | Mira Sharma answered |
Miscellaneous charges i.e. 4% = 6000
So, Advertisement charges i.e., 18%
= (6000/4) x 18 = 27000
So, Advertisement charges i.e., 18%
= (6000/4) x 18 = 27000

 | Bank Exams India answered |
No. of people who prefer flute = 11% of 60,000
= (11/100) x 60000 = 6600
2100 people be less from the people who prefer flute.
Therefore, 6600 – 2100 = 4500
Required percentage = (4500/60000) x 100 = 7.5%
= (11/100) x 60000 = 6600
2100 people be less from the people who prefer flute.
Therefore, 6600 – 2100 = 4500
Required percentage = (4500/60000) x 100 = 7.5%
