Answer/Solution

65%

Steps/Work

The percent of employees who are unionized and men is 0.7*0.6 = 42%
The percent of employees who are unionized and women is 60 - 42 = 18%
44% of all employees are women, so non-union women are 44%-18% = 26%
40% of all employees are non-union.
The percent of non-union employees who are women is 26%/40% = 65%
The answer is E.
