Could anyone explain why the % of Graduation for S is taken as 13?, while actually it was given as 14% in the Pie diagram?

I don't get it. How it arrived with 19:13 as an answer?

(21%24700/13%27300) = (19%13).

21/100*24700:13/100*27300.

= 5187:3549 (Divide both sides by 3).

= 1729:1183.

= (1+7+2+9) : (1+1+8+3).

= 19:13.
