Question 137

28% members of a certain group are married. What is the respective ratio between the number of married members to the number of unmarried members ?

Solution

Let total number of members be T.

The number of married number if percent is 28% = .28T

Hence, percent of unmarried members = (100-28)%=72%

And the number = .72T

The ratio of married to unmarried= .28/.72 = $$\frac{7}{18}$$
