A25
B30 ✓ Correct
C40
D45
Correct answer: (B) 30 — The figure is 30 percent, so the answer is 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.
