Are u sure that this text is correct?

According the statement we have 45 chances (70 - 25) in 248 possibilities. so 45/248

I didnt get it.

There was a missing word in the text, 25 is a percent of the married and self employed

25% of married and self employed means 25% of 156 = 39
70 self employed minus 39 married & self employed = 31 self employed and Not married
the probability is 31/248 = 1/8
