This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

In a country, 31 % of the people that voted for candidate AA are women. Moreover, 10% of the population are women and voted for AA. What is the percentage of people that voted for candidate AA?

Answer:

the percentage of people that voted for candidate AA is 32.3%

Explanation:

Given that;

31 % of the people that voted for candidate A are women

P( women/Candidate AA) = 0.31

Moreover, 10% of the population are women and voted for AA

P( women & candidate AA) = 0.10

so

p( Candidate AA) = P( women & candidate AA) / P( women/Candidate AA)

p( Candidate AA) = 0.10 / 0.31

p( Candidate AA) = 0.323

p( Candidate AA) = 32.3%

Therefore the percentage of people that voted for candidate AA is 32.3%
