1500 members have a contributor membership.

64.8% of the noncontributory memberships are individual memberships.

Explanation:

There are 20,000 members of a zoo.

⇒ Total members = 20,000

From the graph shown,

7.5% of the members have a contributor membership.

To find the number of members who have contributor membership :

⇒ 7.5% of 20,000

⇒ (7.5/100) × 20,000

⇒ 7.5 × 200

⇒ 1500 members.

Therefore, 1500 members have a contributor membership.

To find the percentage of the noncontributory memberships are individual memberships :

The percentage of noncontributory memberships = 100% - 7.5% ⇒ 92.5%

The percentage of individual memberships = 60%

∴ What percentage of the noncontributory memberships are individual memberships ⇒ (60 / 92.5) × 100 = 64.8%
