Marital Status by Gender Marital Status Gender Single Married Other Female 100 40 60 Male 200 60 40 What percentage of the people are single

Answer 1

60 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the percentage of single people given the data in the question.

Total number of people = 100 + 40 +60 + 200 + 60 + 40 = 500

Total number of single people = 100 + 200 = 300

The percentage of single people = [(total singles) / (total number of people)] * 100

= 300/500 x 100

= 0.6 x 100

= 60 percent.

60 percent of this population are single people
