City-wise population by males, females and transgenders in five cities A–E (some values are percentages, some are numbers).

City	Males	Females	Transgenders
A	45%	30%	2000
B	50%	3000	35%
C	8000	35%	15%
D	45%	3600	25%
E	38%	32%	4200

The female population of City C is how much percent less than the sum of the male and transgender population of City D?

A25%

B33.33% ✓ Correct

C50%

D66.67%

Correct answer: (B) 33.33%

Explanation

The answer is thirty three and one third percent.

In City D the total is 12000, so the male and transgender share of 70 percent is 8400.

In City C the total is 16000, so the female share of 35 percent is 5600.

So the female population of C is 8400 minus 5600, which is 2800 less.

As a percentage of 8400 this is 2800 divided by 8400, times 100.

That is thirty three and one third percent.

So the answer is thirty three and one third percent.
