I had one Red Bull in every break... stated each break with going to the bathroom and drinking a Red Bull after that. Scored 690 and had no problems during the test... :D perhaps I'm an exeception...

OA is B. I think I found the way (with you're help): 0.72m + 0.8f = y (All appliciants) m + f = x (All students) Since we're looking for m/x: (0.72m + 0.8f) / x = 0.75 / 1 We can plug in f = x - m: (0.72m + 0.8(x - m)) / x = 0.75 0.72m + 0.8x - 0.8m = 0.75x -0.08m = -0.05x 1.6m = x = 62,5% male Is t...
