Q:
In a village, 48% of the people are men, 30% are smokers, and 60% are either men or smokers. What percentage of the people are male smokers?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:
P(male or smoker) = P(male) + P(smoker) - P(male smoker)
60% = 48% + 30% - P(male smoker)
P(male smoker) = 48% + 30% - 60% = 18%
Answer: 18%
