a. women
b. men

Answer 1

Men

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of men and female be 100

60% of 100 is 60

Therefore there are 60 female

30% of 60 is 18

so 18 women buy physical therapy

40% of 100 is 40

Therefore there are 40 men

70% of 40 is 28

so 28 men buy physical therapy

28>18 therefore there is a greater demand of physical therapy from men

Answer 2

Men.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, 70% of 40% (100% - 60%) = 28% total population demand.

30% of 60% = 18%

28% > 18%
