The number of male participants from Country E is what percent more than the number of female participants from Country C?
A18
B21
C24
D25 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 25
Explanation
The figure is 25 percent, so the answer is 25.
Male participants from Country E are 10 percent of 750, which is 75.
Male participants from Country C are 14 percent of 750, which is 105.
Total participants from Country C are 15 percent of 1100, which is 165, so females are 165 minus 105, which is 60.
The excess of male E over female C is 75 minus 60, which is 15.
As a percentage of 60 this is 15 over 60 times 100.
That equals 25 percent.
