The number of females working in University F is what percent more than the number of transgenders working in University A?

A20

B44 and four-ninths

C81 and one-third ✓ Correct

D80 and one-third

Correct answer: (C) 81 and one-third

Explanation

The answer is 81 and one-third percent.

Females in University F are 40 percent of 1360, which is 544.

Transgenders in University A are 12.5 percent of 2400, which is 300.

The excess is 544 minus 300, which is 244.

As a percent of 300, this is 244 divided by 300, times 100.

That is 81 and one-third percent.

So the answer is 81 and one-third percent.
