Question : In an office, 40% of the staff is female, 40% of the females and 60% of the males voted for me. The percentage of votes I got was:
Option 1: 24%
Option 2: 42%
Option 3: 50%
Option 4: 52%
Correct Answer: 52%
Solution :
Total females = 40%
Total males = 60%
40% of female voted for me = 40 × $\frac{40}{100}$ = 16%
60% of males voted for me = 60 × $\frac{60}{100}$ = 36%
Percentage of votes to me = 16 + 36 = 52%
Hence, the correct answer is 52%.
