exactly 30 % of the reporters for a certain wire service cover local politics in country x . if 25 % of the reporters who cover politics for the wire service do not cover local politics in country x , what percent of the reporters for the wire service do not cover politics ?
let ' s assume there are 100 reporters - - > 30 reporters cover local politics . now , as 25 % of the reporters who cover all politics do not cover local politics then the rest 75 % of the reporters who cover politics do cover local politics , so if there are x reporters who cover politics then 75 % of them equal to 30 ( # of reporters who cover local politics ) : 0.75 x = 30 - - > x = 40 , hence 40 reporters cover politics and the rest 100 - 40 = 60 reporters do not cover politics at all . answer : c .
multiply(subtract(const_1, divide(30, subtract(const_100, 25))), const_100)
