The following graph gives the details of the male and female population (in thousands) across five places A, B, C, D and E.

Based on the information, the total number of females in all five places is approximately what percentage of the total number of males in all five places?

97%

Total number of females in all 5 places = 28 + 40 + 75 + 42 + 32

= 177

Total number of males in all 5 places = 35 + 32 + 30 + 45 + 40

= 182

Required percentage = \(\frac{177 }{182}\) × 100 = 97.25%

= 97%  ( Approx )
