Answer 1

total no of people are 600.

% wear one earing so - 5% of 600 is 30

half of them wearing 2 earing so 1/2 of 570 which is 285

so overall 285+30= 315

% who have wear earing is---315/600*100=52.5%

Answer 2

600 earrings

Answer 3

I don't know, but I like that there's a club where men can come together regardless of their stance on ear-piercing.  It serves as hope that the times aren't that bad.

Answer 4

Six hundred. We know that 5%, or 30 of the men are wearing one earring. Of the other 95%, or 570, we know that half are wearing two earrings and the other half none. This is the same as if they all wore one.
