The girl percentages are A 15, B 12, C 18, D 14, E 20 and F 21. Based on the data, answer the questions.

A25
B30
C40 ✓ Correct
D50
Correct answer: (C) 40 — The answer is 40 percent.
Explanation
★The answer is 40 percent.
★The girls in College F are 21 percent of 24000, which is 5040.
★The girls in College A are 15 percent of 24000, which is 3600.
★The excess is 5040 minus 3600, which is 1440.
★As a percent of 3600, this is 1440 divided by 3600, times 100.
★That is 40 percent.
★So the answer is 40 percent.
