The total number of male participants from Country B and Country F together is what percent of the number of participants in the games?
A25
B30 ✓ Correct
C40
D45
Correct answer: (B) 30
Explanation
The figure is 30 percent, so the answer is 30.
Male participants from Country B are 22 percent of 750, which is 165.
Male participants from Country F are also 22 percent of 750, which is 165.
So together they are 165 plus 165, which is 330.
The total number of participants in the games is 1100.
As a percentage this is 330 over 1100 times 100.
That equals 30 percent.
