The total number of transgenders working in all six universities is approximately what percent of the total number of females working in all six universities?

A80 ✓ Correct

B82

C78

D83

Correct answer: (A) 80

Explanation

The answer is about 80 percent.

The transgenders across the six universities total about 5839.

The females across the six universities total about 7264.

So the transgender share is 5839 divided by 7264, times 100.

That is about 80.38 percent, which rounds to 80.

The other options do not match this value.

So the answer is about 80 percent.
