In a certain city, 60 percent of the registered voters are Democrats and the rest are Republicans. In a mayoral race, if 65 percent of the registered voters who are Democrats and 20 percent of the registered voters who are Republicans are expected to vote for Candidate A, what percent of the registered voters are expected to vote for Candidate A ?
Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 50 %
B) 53 %
C) 54 %
D) 55 %
E) 47 %
