Read the passage: 'In 2020 a cycling club had 120 members, 30 of whom were under 18. In 2024 it had 200 members, 60 of whom were under 18.' Which statement is supported by the passage?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The share of members under 18 rose from 25% to 30%
- Step 1: In 2020: 30/120 = 25%. In 2024: 60/200 = 30%. Step 2. So the share of members under 18 rose from 25% to 30%. Answer: The share of members under 18 rose from 25% to 30%. Why not the others: The number under 18 doubled from 30 to 60, an increase of 100%, the share changed from 25% to 30%, and only 30 of the 80 new members were under 18.
