A) 15%
B) 85%
C)60%
D)35

Answer 1

Answer: A) 15%

Explanation:

Let's say this school has 1000 seniors.

25% of this count is 0.25*1000 = 250 to indicate there are 250 seniors with blue eyes. Of this smaller count, 60% of them are girls with blue eyes. So there are 0.60*250 = 150 female seniors with blue eyes.

Divide that last number over the original value: 150/1000 = 0.15 = 15%
