first find the men numbers if 16 of D are women then 51-16=35 and if 4 are R then 47-4=43
Men:
35D, 43R, 2I
Women:
16D, 4R
a) take total D+R=T 51+47=98 4 of the 98 students are Republican women so 4%2F98=.0408163265 multiply by 100 to get %
highlight_green%284.0816%29%
b) take # of Republican women 4 and divide by total women 20.
4%2F20=.20 multiply by 100 to get %
highlight_green%2820%29%
c) Add Male R 43 with female R 4 to get 47 total R now divide 4 by 47.
4%2F47=0.08510638multiply by 100 to get %
highlight_green%288.5106%29%
d) take total D+R=T 51+47=98 43 of the 98 students are Republican men so
43%2F98=.4387755 multiply by 100 to get %
highlight_green%2843.8776%29%
e) take # of Republican men 43 and divide by total men 80.
43%2F80=.5375 multiply by 100 to get %
highlight_green%2853.75%29%
f) Add Male R 43 with female R 4 to get 47 total R now divide 43 by 47.
43%2F47=0.9148936multiply by 100 to get %
highlight_green%2891.4894%29%
