Question

in a choir the ratio of men to woman is 4:7. 25% of the men prefer classical songs, and 80% of the women prefer classical songs. What percentage of the choir prefer classical songs?

Answer 1

60%

Explanation:

percentage of men in the choir = (4/11) x 100 = 36.4%

percentage of women in the choir = (7/11) x 100 = 63.6%

Percentage of men in the choir that prefer classical songs = 36.4 x0.25 = 9.1%

Percentage of women in the choir that prefer classical songs = 0.8 x 63.6% = 50.9%

percentage of the choir prefer classical songs = 50.9% + 9.1% = 60%
