in a survey of parents, exactly 7 / 8 of the mothers and 3 / 4 of the fathers held full - time jobs. if 40 percent of the parents surveyed were women, what percent of the parents did not hold full - time jobs?
add(subtract(subtract(const_100, 40), multiply(divide(3, 4), subtract(const_100, 40))), subtract(40, multiply(divide(7, 8), 40)))
fathers without full - time jobs are 1 / 4 * 3 / 5 = 3 / 20 of all the parents surveyed . mothers without full - time jobs are 1 / 8 * 2 / 5 = 1 / 20 of all the parents surveyed . the percent of parents without full - time jobs is 3 / 20 + 1 / 20 = 1 / 5 = 20 % the answer is a .
