    E) 83 1/3%

    Step-by-step explanation

    Let H represent hardwood floors

    Let W represent windows

    Let x be the total number of windows

    Let y be the total number without windows

    Apartments having window and hardwood floor = 50%

    So we have HW = 50% = 0.5

    Apartments without windows but have hardwood floor = 25%

    No W, H = 25% = 0.25

    Apartment without hardwood floors = 40% = 0.4

    No H = 0.4

    Apartments with hardwood floors (H) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

    HW + no W, H = 0.6

    0.5 + 0.25y = 0.6

    0.25y = 0.6 - 0.5

    0.25y = 0.1

    y = 0.1/0.25

    y = 0.4

    x = 1 - y

    x = 1 - 0.4

    x = 0.6

    Apartments with windows that have hardwood floors = (HW/x) 100

    = (0.5/0.6) 100

    = (0.83333) 100

    = 83.33%

    = 83 1/3% (E)
