In a certain country, 60 percent of the population likes basketball, and 31 percent of the population likes both basketball and golf. What percentage of the people who like basketball also like golf? Choose the correct answer
A) 20%	B) 33%	C) 40%	D) 52%	E) 67%
Correct Answer: (D).   Since this is a percent problem without concrete numbers, we can assign our own. If we assume that there are 100 people in the country, then 60 people like basketball, and 31 people like basketball and golf. We’re looking for people who like both divided by people who like basketball, so 31/60 = 52%, or choice 52%.
