Let the Entire Group size to Be 100( for simplified calculations)
M ==> 44
no. of F(female) ==> 100 - 44 = 56
A(athlete) = 74% = 74
Now 15% of F not A
Thus 0.15* 56 not A
= 8.4 not A
So females who are athlete
56- 8.4 = 47.2
Now Male who are athletes = Total - Female Athletes
= 74 - 47.2 = 26.8
So % of Male Athletes is 26.8%
Although the method is correct, but I made some calculation error,
Now I hope everything is fine.
