Question

The number of male voters in city C is what percent of the number of male voters in city D (approx.)?

• A. 25
• B. 48
• C. 30
• D. 18

Hint:

To compare percentages, use \( \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} \times 100 \). Always ensure correct percentage values are used.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

1. Male voters in city C = \( 12% \) of 40,000 = \( 4,800 \)
2. Male voters in city D = \( 26% \) of 40,000 = \( 10,400 \)
3. Percentage = \( \frac{4,800}{10,400} \times 100 = 18.46% \)
4. The closest available answer is **18%**.
