Let's say there are \(100\) people in town \(X\).
\(64\) percent of the population are employed.
Total employed \(= 64\)
\(48\) percent of the population are employed males.
Total male employed \(= 48\)
so
Total female employed \(= 64 - 48 = 16\)
employed Female as a percentage of employed people in town \(= \frac{16}{64} * 100\)% \(= 25\)%
Answer B
\(64\) percent of the population are employed.
Total employed \(= 64\)
\(48\) percent of the population are employed males.
Total male employed \(= 48\)
so
Total female employed \(= 64 - 48 = 16\)
employed Female as a percentage of employed people in town \(= \frac{16}{64} * 100\)% \(= 25\)%
Answer B
