The answer is [(100n)/ (2n+75)]%

---------------------------------------------------
# of men = "n"
# of women = "n+75"
---
Total # of students: n + n+75 = 2n+75
----
% of men = n/(2n+75)
----
Converting that to percentage notation you get:
100[n/(2n+75)]/100
-----
= [100n/[(2n+75)/100]
----
= [100n/(2n+75)%]
