Village A: 12%
Village B: 16%
Village C: 30%
Village D: 20%
Village E: 22%

- A280
- B400
- C320
- D360
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
To find the number of children attending school from village D, we follow these steps:
Find the total number of children in village D:
The total number of children across all villages is 2000.
The percentage of children in village D is 20%.
Total children in village D=20% of 2000=
100
20
×2000=400
Calculate the number of school-going children from village D:
It is given that 70% of the children from village D attend school.
Number of children attending school=70% of 400=
100
70
×400=280
Thus, 280 children attend school from village D.
Find the total number of children in village D:
The total number of children across all villages is 2000.
The percentage of children in village D is 20%.
Total children in village D=20% of 2000=
100
20
×2000=400
Calculate the number of school-going children from village D:
It is given that 70% of the children from village D attend school.
Number of children attending school=70% of 400=
100
70
×400=280
Thus, 280 children attend school from village D.
