Question: Out of the 300 comic books in a comic store, 30% are liked by females, males like 120, and both genders don't like the rest. What percentage of the comic books are disliked by both males and females?
Answer: The number of comic books that females like is 30 / 100 * 300 = 90 books. Together, both males and females like 90 + 120 = 210 comic books.
