In Nation X, all citizens aged 18 or older are eligible to vote and all citizens under age 18 are not. The left graph shows the percentage of citizens of Nation X who fell within various age ranges at the time of the last election. For the same age ranges during that election, the right graph shows the voter turnout—the percentage of eligible voters who voted.
Select from each drop-down menu the option that creates the most accurate statement based on the information provided.
If a citizen of Nation X who was eligible to vote at the time of the last election was selected at random, the probability that the citizen was age 25 to 34 is, to the nearest percent, and the probability that the citizen both voted in the last election and was age 25 to 34 is, to the nearest percent,
Can someone please help explain how to get to the correct answers?

Please post the questions in proper format and not screenshots.
the solution:
out of 100%, 24.6% are not eligible to vote, so 75% are eligible to vote. 16% is within the age 24-35 and eligible to vote. 16% as percentage of eligible voter, that is 75% is \(100*\frac{16}{75}\) nearly equal to 21%
Next, only 58% voted in the age bracket 24-35, so 58% of 16% as a percentage of eligible voters is \(\frac{58}{100}*\frac{16}{75}*100=12.3%\) or 12%
I have moved the question to the right forum and formatted it. Please provide us with the answer options so that the question can be presented in its original form. For the time being, I have added answer options, but they are not the official ones.

thanks! I'm afraid I can't see the options anymore as I've already done the test- it won't let me view :/
Hi, for 2nd questions, it asks 'the probability that the citizen both voted in the last election and was age 25 to 34 is". Isn't the answer 10%?
Unlike first question, here it is not mentioned about selecting from the pool of eligible voters. so we should look at whole population right? Percentage of population who are 25 to 34 and voted is = 16.1% * 58% (approx) = 9.3% close to 10. Did I miss something here?
Should we consider the first condition to apply for both questions?

The sentence: "If a citizen... was selected" applies to both the parts of the question. The question phrases also include the term citizen and it refers back to the initial starting phrase as no other citizen is mentioned to which it can attributed to. Had sentence correction still been a part of GMAT this would've been clearer.
