The number of overweight men in the year 2021 was what percent of the number of men who were not overweight in the same year?

A55%

B60% ✓ Correct

C50.5%

D65.5%

Correct answer: (B) 60%

Explanation

The answer is 60 percent.

Overweight men in 2021 are 37.5 percent of 39000, which is 14625.

The men who are not overweight are 39000 minus 14625, which is 24375.

So the ratio is 14625 to 24375.

As a percent, that is 14625 divided by 24375, times 100.

That is 60 percent.

So the answer is 60 percent.
