Question

An accountant knows that 60% of the firm’s clients are women, 35% of the firm’s clients invest in bonds,
and that among these, 25% of the firm’s clients are women investing in bonds.
What percent of the firm’s clients do not invest in bonds?    

(Write your answer as just a number, without the % sign; eg: 35)

Answer 1

Given

Percentage of firm’s clients invest in bonds = 35%

We asked percent of the firm’s clients do not invest in bonds

percent of the firm’s clients do not invest in bonds = 100% - 35%

percent of the firm’s clients do not invest in bonds = 65%
