A60
B75
C80
D100 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 100
Explanation
The females from City F equal 100 percent of City E's candidates, so the answer is 100.
In 2020 City F has 21 percent of 3800, which is 798 qualified candidates, in the ratio 13 to 8.
So the females are 8 of 21 parts of 798, which is 304.
In 2020 City E has 8 percent of 3800, which is 304 qualified candidates.
So the two numbers are both 304.
As a percentage this is 304 over 304 times 100.
That equals 100 percent.
