40

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept: when a quantity A is described as "x% of" a quantity B, it means x = (A / B) × 100. Here School E's Badminton count is being compared against School B's Badminton count from the same row of the table.
From the table, the number of students playing Badminton is 65 in School E and 130 in School B.
Applying the relation, 130 × (x / 100) = 65.
Dividing both sides by 130 gives x / 100 = 65 / 130 = 1 / 2.
Multiplying both sides by 100 gives x = 50.
Cross-check: 50% of 130 is 65, which is exactly the Badminton count for School E in the table, confirming the value of x.
