You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Pct men = total men/total people * 100
men = 750-420 = 330
Pct men = 330/750 *100 = 11/25 *100 = 0.44 * 100 = 44%
.
Pct women = 100% - 44% = 56%
.
Check the answer by checking the percentage of women.
women = 420
Pct women = 420/750 * 100 = 14/25 = 56%
Correct.

Answer: Pct women = 56%; pct men = 44%
