Total number of women is what percentage of the total population of the state ? (rounded off to two decimal places)

  • A.28.86
  • B.30.25
  • C.32.86
  • D.32.26

Answer: D

Women are about 32.26% of the population.

\[ \frac{20000}{62000} \times 100 = 32.258... \approx 32.26\% \]

The denominator must be the whole population, including the 2,000 children below 10. Leaving them out gives \(\frac{20000}{60000} = 33.33\%\); 32.86 is a near-miss in the decimals.

Shortcut: 20,000 out of 62,000 is \(\frac{10}{31}\), and \(\frac{1}{31} \approx 3.226\%\), so ten times that is about 32.26%.
