Answer 1

Given:

Town's population = 20,439

Local country club members = 4,872

Percentage of local country club members in the town = ?

In order to find the percentage of the local country club members in the town, the first thing we need to do is divide the number of local country club members by the town's total population, and then, multiply it by 100.

`\frac{\text{Local country club members}}{\text{Town's Population}}*100=percentage`
`=(4872)/(20439)*100`
`=23.837\approx25`

Therefore the answer is option C. 25%
