Question:

In a city 39% of the men are married and 51% of the women are married. Considering that nobody is married more than once, what percent of the population is married?

Options:

44

42

44.2

44.5

Correct Answer:

44.2

Explanation:

                Men          Women

                  ↓                  ↓

                 x                  y

              39 × x           51 x y

 \(\frac{x}{y}\) = \(\frac{17}{13}\)

Now → \(\frac{39 × 17 × 2 × 100}{30 × 100}\)

      = \(\frac{221}{5}\)

      = 44.2%
