If ages 15 to 59 form 63 percent and elderly people form 14 percent, what is the child share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 23 percent

The three stated age groups together make up the whole population: children, working-age people, and elderly people. Therefore, the child share is the percentage left after subtracting the other two groups from 100%. The working-age share is 63% and the elderly share is 14%, so their combined share is \\(63 + 14 = 77\\%\\).

The remaining percentage is \\(100 - 77 = 23\\%\\). Thus, the child population forms 23 percent of the total population, and option C is correct. The calculation uses shares of the same total population, so they can be added directly. A result of 19% would incorrectly subtract 81%, while 21% and 37% do not equal the remaining share after the two given groups are removed.
