Each person who attended a company meeting was either a stockholder in the company, an employee of the company, or both.  If 62 percent of those who attended the meeting were stockholders and 47 percent were employees, what percent were stockholders, who were not employees?

A.   34%

B.    38%

C.   45%

D.   53%

E.    62%

Answer: d

请牛人帮忙看一下，“If 62 percent of those who attended the meeting were stockholders and 47 percent were employees”，这句话中的“47 percent were employees”指的是全部人数的47%吧，有歧义。

若是全部人数的47%：100=47+62-x, x=9-->not employees=51, 没有答案。

sorry but can't understand ur point...but i will do this way

three conditions

s

e

s+e

the question is what is the value of s?

e+(s+e)=47

s+[e+(s+e)]=100,so s=53
