Table: patients admitted per ward - Ward A: 23; Ward B: 55; Ward C: 31. What percentage of all admissions were in Ward A (to one decimal place)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 21.1 %
- Step 1: Total = 109. Step 2. 23 / 109 x 100 = 21.1 %. Answer: 21.1 %. Why not the others: 23 %: the number of patients was given as the percentage. 41.8 %: Ward A was compared with Ward B only. 25.3 %: this value comes from a slip in the arithmetic.
