2 At a gym, 70% of the members are women. 50% of the women use the swimming pool. 80% of the men also use the pool. What percentage of the members use the pool?
To determine the percentage of members using the pool, calculate the percentage of women and men separately then add them together to get the total percentage.
Explanation:
To find the percentage of members using the pool:
Calculate the total percentage of women who use the pool: 70% (women) 50% (women using the pool) = 35%.
Calculate the total percentage of men who use the pool: 30% (men) 80% (men using the pool) = 24%.
Add the percentages of women and men who use the pool together: 35% + 24% = 59%.
