- Percentage Increase / Decrease, RatiosChoice D
Let the number of people summoned be n:
$$ Summoned\ people \ who \ appear =40\%n=0.4n $$
$$ Excused\ people =\frac{1}{3}(0.4n) $$
Then,
$$ Jury\ pool =\frac{2}{3}(0.4n) $$
Jury pool should be 60. So
$$ \frac{2}{3}(0.4n)=60 $$
$$ n=\frac{3\times 60\times 10}{2(0.4)} $$
$$ n=225 $$
So choice D is correct.
