Question

The number of male voters in city F is approximately what percent of the number of voters in the same city (approx.)?

• A. 48
• B. 44
• C. 53
• D. 57

Hint:

To find percentage distribution, first determine the total count and then divide by the respective category.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

1. Total voters = \( 64,000 \)
2. Male to female ratio = \( 5:3 \)
- Male voters = \( \frac{5}{8} \times 64,000 = 40,000 \)
- Female voters = \( \frac{3}{8} \times 64,000 = 24,000 \)
3. Total voters in city F = \( 18% \) of 64,000 = \( 11,520 \)
4. Female voters in city F = \( 25% \) of 24,000 = \( 6,000 \)
5. Male voters in city F = \( 11,520 - 6,000 = 5,520 \)
6. Percentage of male voters = \( \frac{5,520}{11,520} \times 100 = 48% \)
