Solution:

Concept:

Calculate the number of readers in each city using the given percentage and total readers, then count how many cities exceed 7,400.

Explanation:

Total readers in 2023 = 50,000.

City A: 15% of 50,000 =

15 \times 500 = 7,500

> 7,400.

City B: 16% of 50,000 =

16 \times 500 = 8,000

> 7,400.

City C: 28% of 50,000 =

28 \times 500 = 14,000

> 7,400.

City D: 10% of 50,000 =

10 \times 500 = 5,000

< 7,400.

City E: 9% of 50,000 =

9 \times 500 = 4,500

< 7,400.

City F: 22% of 50,000 =

22 \times 500 = 11,000

> 7,400.

Thus, cities A, B, C, and F have readers more than 7,400.

Answer:
