Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Step 1 - Find the total number of patients admitted across all four hospitals (A, B, C and D), for every disease.
Viral disease = 30 + 15 + 35 + 10 = 90
Heart disease = 35 + 10 + 30 + 10 = 85
Kidney disease = 15 + 5 + 15 + 5 = 40
Liver disease = 10 + 5 + 5 + 15 = 35
Total patients admitted = 90 + 85 + 40 + 35 = 250.
Step 2 - Compute the required percentage. (The bed counts in brackets are not needed for this question.)
Percentage of Liver disease patients = (Liver patients / Total patients) x 100 = (35 / 250) x 100 = 14%.
Hence, the percentage of Liver disease patients admitted across all the hospitals is 14%.
