Graduated : 480 among which 240 are (F and graduated) and 240 are (Male and graduated)

40% of 2020 are Male : 808 = = > (Male and non graduated) : 808 - 240 = 568

therefore:

Male or Graduated = (Male and non graduated) + Graduated (M or F)

= 568 + 480

= 1048

and therefore:

1048/2020 = 51.88%
