My question is: In Dana's senior high school class there were 200 students. 60% of the students were female, and 50% of the females were brunettes. If 50% of the female brunettes were under 5 feet tall, then how many female brunettes in Dana's high school senior class were under 5 feet tall? Your thoughts:

In Dana's senior class, the 60% of 200 students is 0.6 * 200 = 120 female students. Fifty percent of the females, or 0.5 * 120 = 60 of the female students were brunettes. If 50% of the female brunettes were under 5 feet tall, then there were 60 * 0.5 = 30 female brunettes under five feet tall in Dana's senior class. The final answer: 30.
