The number of female members in health club E is what percentage less than the number of male members in health club B?
A56 and two-thirds percent
B59 and three-eighths percent ✓ Correct
C54 and one-half percent
D60 and two-thirds percent
Correct answer: (B) 59 and three-eighths percent
Explanation
The figure is 59 and three-eighths percent, so the answer is that value.
Female members in club E are 936.
Male members in club B are 2304.
The difference is 2304 minus 936, which is 1368.
The percentage less is 1368 divided by 2304 times 100.
This works out to 475 over 8, which is 59 and three-eighths percent.
The base is the larger figure, the male members of club B.
