University E has 4250 with 38 percent male, 30 percent female and 32 percent transgender. University F has 1360 with 45 percent male, 40 percent female and 15 percent transgender. Based on the data, answer the questions.
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 — The answer is 81 and one-third percent.
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.
