                   HOW MANY               FRACTION            PERCENT

Male Officers      7456-3211=4245        4245/7456=            56.934

Female Officers     3211                 3211/7456=            43.07

All Officers        7456                    1                 100

Percent means, "parts in one hundred".
Multiply the fraction by 100, and that is the percentage.
