Answer and Explanation

Suppose the total number of voters is 400. Let F denote those people who fluctuate. From the given information, we can tabulate the number of male and female voters for each party as follows:

MFTotal
A6060120
B100100
C100100
D202040
F202040
Total200200400

 

Since only 180 males cast their votes and party A receives 60 male votes, the required percentage is 60/180 = 33.33%.
