The nurse cares for clients in the outpatient clinic. The nurse notes 1/2 of the patients are elderly men and 1/3 of the patients are young women. What percent of the patients are NOT elderly men or young women?
10%
16.7%
23%
3.3%
The Correct Answer is B
To determine the percentage of patients who are not elderly men or young women, we first need to find the combined percentage of patients who are elderly men and young women.
- Elderly men: 12 = 50%
- Young women: 13 ≈ 33.3%
To find the total percentage of patients who are either elderly men or young women, we add these two percentages together:
50%+33.3% = 83.3%
The percentage of patients who are not elderly men or young women is:
100%−83.3%=16.7
Therefore, the correct answer is:16.7%
