HI jjjinapinch,
When dealing with DS questions, you can sometimes get to the correct answer without doing much (if any) 'math' - as long as you understand how the information that you're given relates to the specific question that is asked.
Here, we're asked if AT LEAST 60% of the students in Pat's class walk to school. This is a YES/NO question.
1) At least 60 percent of the female students in Pat's class walk to school.
This fact discuss the FEMALE students, but we have no idea what percent of MALE students walk to class.
IF NONE of the males walk to class, then it's possible that that would 'bring down' the average and the answer to the question would be NO.
IF ALL of the males walk to class, then this would 'bring up' the average (to something even higher than the current percent of females walking to class) and the answer to the question would be YES.
Fact 1 is INSUFFICIENT
2) The number of students in Pat's class who walk to school is twice the number of students who do not walk to school.
Fact 2 gives us a ratio of data...
(Number that walk to class):(Number that don't walk to class) = 2:1
This means that for every 3 students, 2 walk to class... 2/3 = 66 2/3%.
This is GREATER than 60%, so the answer to the question is ALWAYS YES.
Fact 2 is SUFFICIENT
Final Answer: B
