To determine the percentage of female employees who are administrators or staff, we need to follow these steps:

 

1. Identify the number of female administrators and staff from the table.

2. Calculate the total number of female employees.

3. Sum the number of female administrators and staff.

4. Calculate the percentage of female employees who are administrators or staff by dividing the sum from step 3 by the total number of female employees, and then multiply by 100.

 

From the table:

- Number of female administrators: 4

- Number of female staff: 30

- Total number of female employees: 97

 

Step-by-step calculation:

 

1. Sum of female administrators and staff:

\[4 + 30 = 34\]

 

2. Total number of female employees:

\[97\]

 

3. Calculate the percentage:

\[\text { Percentage} = \left ( \frac { 34} { 97} \right ) \times 100\]

 

Let's perform the division and multiplication:

 

\[\text { Percentage} = \left ( \frac { 34} { 97} \right ) \times 100 \approx 35.05\]

 

Rounding to the nearest percent:

 

\[35.05 \approx 35\]

 

Thus, approximately 35% of the female employees are administrators or staff. So we choose 34% as the nearest answer.
