At a symposium, 20 % of the professors are psychologists, 60 % are biologists, and the remaining 12 professors are economists. If 20 of the professors wear glasses, what percent of the professors do not wear glasses?
A. 20%
B. 33 1/3 %
C. 50%
D. 66 2/3 %
E. 80%
20% of the professors are psychologists
60% are biologists
remaining 20% are 12 economists.
Hence total = 60 (as 20% =12)
If 20 of the professors wear glasses it means 40 do not wear glasses. And 40 is equal to 2/3 of 60.
Answer: D
