Correct answer: (C) 49%
Explanation
The answer is 49 percent.
The combined population of the towns is 3500000.
The total number of females across the towns is 1801786.
So the total number of males is 3500000 minus 1801786, which is 1698214.
As a percentage this is 1698214 divided by 3500000, times 100.
That is about 49 percent.
So the answer is 49 percent.
