If 10 additional female participants from Country C joined the games, then the total number of female participants from Country C is what percent of the total number of participants from Country C?
A30
B40 ✓ Correct
C50
D60
Correct answer: (B) 40
Explanation
The figure is 40 percent, so the answer is 40.
Total participants from Country C are 15 percent of 1100, which is 165.
Male participants from Country C are 14 percent of 750, which is 105, so females are 165 minus 105, which is 60.
After 10 more join, the females become 60 plus 10, which is 70.
The total participants also rise by 10 to 165 plus 10, which is 175.
As a percentage this is 70 over 175 times 100.
That equals 40 percent.
