Answer 2

Answer: C. 27% of men like woody fragrances, and 45% of the people who like citrus fragrances are women

Explanation:

Here, Given table,

Citrus Fruity Woody

Men : 27 21 18

Women : 22 26 15

Thus, The percentage of men like woody fragrances

=
`\frac{\text{Number of men who like woody fragrance}}{\text{total number of Men}} * 100`

=
`(18)/(66)* 100`

=
`(1800)/(66)`

= 27.2727..... %

≈ 27 %

Now, The percentage of men like woody fragrances

=
`\frac{\text{Number of women who like citrus fragrance}}{\text{total number of persons who like citrus}} * 100`

=
`(22)/(49)* 100`

=
`(2200)/(49)`

= 44.8979591837 %

≈ 45 %

Thus, Option C is correct.
