Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

1,200,000=100%

60%=Males

40%=Females

Cross multiply

40x1200000/100

=480,000= Females

DO THE SAME FOR MALES

You get

720,000=Males

If overall pass is 70% it means that 840,000 passed

If 75% of males passed that means 540,000 passed

840,000-540,000

=300,000

300,000/1200,000x100%

=25%
