The total number of females in Villages B and D together is what percent more than the number of males in Village C?

A275
B225
C125
D175 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 175
Explanation

The total is 175 percent more, so the answer is 175.

Females in Village B are 33 percent of 16000, which is 5280.

Females in Village D are the remaining 44 percent of 24000, which is 10560.

So the two together give 5280 plus 10560, which is 15840.

Males in Village C are 32 percent of 18000, which is 5760.

The excess is 15840 minus 5760, which is 10080, and as a percentage of 5760 that is 10080 over 5760 times 100.

That equals 175 percent.
