If total dependents form 37 percent and elderly people form 11 percent of a country's population, what is the child share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 26 percent

The dependent population consists mainly of children and elderly people, because these groups are generally less likely to be in the working-age category. Therefore, if total dependents account for 37 percent and elderly people account for 11 percent, the child share is the remaining part of the dependent population.

The calculation is \\(37\\%-11\\%=26\\%\\). Thus children form 26 percent of the total population, assuming the categories are defined consistently and do not overlap. Option B is correct. The value 24 percent would result from an incorrect subtraction, while 48 percent is impossible here because it exceeds the total dependent share of 37 percent.
