Given:

Number of students appeared and selected in the entrance exam from 5 different cities (A, B, C, D, and E) in the table.
Formula Used:

City B:  18003000\frac {1800}{3000}×\times 100 = 60%

City C: 19502800\frac {1950}{2800}​ ×\times 100 = 69.64%

City D: 20002400\frac {2000}{2400}×\times100 = 83.33%

City E: 17002600\frac {1700}{2600}×\times 100 = 65.38%
