Question

A social club has 500 members.
If 62% of members are male, what percentage are female?

Answer 1

310 members or 38% are female

100% - 62%male = 38% female

or (62 × 500) ÷ 100 = 310 females

Total members = 500

Total percentage = 100%

Percentage of male members = 62%

Percentage of female members:

= 100% - male members

= 100% - 62%

= 38%
