If children form 20 percent, elderly people 15 percent, and working-age people 65 percent, what is the total dependent share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 35 percent

The dependent population consists of people who are generally outside the working-age group, especially children and elderly people. When their percentages are provided, the total dependent share is found by adding those two percentages. The working-age percentage is not added to the dependent share because it is the separate, economically active age category.

Children form 20 percent and elderly people form 15 percent. Therefore, the dependent share is \(20+15=35\) percent. The remaining 65 percent is the working-age share, which also confirms that all three groups total \(100\) percent. Hence option C, 35 percent, is correct.
