    According to given graph in question ,
    Number of students who got 40% or less marks = 2 + 4 + 12 + 26 = 44
    Total number of students = 2 + 4 + 12 + 26 + 35 + 42 + 72 + 48 + 24 + 8 = 273

    ∴ Required percent =
    Number of students who got 40% or less marks
    × 100
    Total number of students

Direction: Study the following graph and answer the questions.

  1. In 2005, the exports of company X were double that of company Y in that year. If the imports of company X during the year were $ 180 million, what was the amount (in million) of imports of company Y during the year?
