Question

The projected number of employed writers and authors in 2016 is 153,000. 12.4% of those will have some college experience but no degree, and 84.1% will have a bachelor’s degree or higher. If this holds true, how many more writers and authors with bachelor’s degree will there be than those with only some college experience and no degree?

Answer 1

it wants to know how many more authors are in group A (bach degree or higher) than group B (some college experience with no degree)

so you just have to subtract the higher percentage minus the lower percentage, convert to a decimal, then multiply by the total population 153K
