In a train, 45% of the passengers are females. Out of total number of passengers, 65% have unreserved tickets out of which 18% are females. How much percent of females have unreserved tickets?
Let the total number of passengers in the train be ‘x’ Therefore, total number of female passengers = 0.45x Number of female passengers who have unreserved tickets = 0.65 × 0.18x = 0.117x Required percentage = (0.117x/0.45x) × 100 = 26%
