The total number of viewers in March 2016 increased by 40% as compared to that in March 2015. If the viewers of Theatre A in March 2016 are 25% more than that in 2015, then find the difference between the number of viewers of Theatre B in March 2016 and in March 2015.

1. 15800
2. 19800
3. 17800
4. 18800

Correct answer: 18800

Solution

The total viewers increased by 40%, so the total increase is known as a fraction of the March 2015 total. Theatre A increased by 25% of its 2015 value, so its increase is smaller than the total increase. The remaining increase must belong to Theatre B, which comes out to 18800.
