A:
Answer:880Step-by-step explanation:This problem a bit annoying, but let's classify the numbers and see where we can get from there:Total = 10,000Young = 3,000Old = 7,000 (not young defined as 10,000 - 3,000)Male = 4,600Female = 5,400Married = 7,000Single = 3,000Young Males = 1,320Young Females = 3,000 (young) - 1,320  = 1,680Married Males = 3,010 Married Females = 7,000 - 3,010 = 2,990Young Married = 1,400Young Married Males = 600Young Married Females = 1,400 - 600 = 800Young Female Single = ?Young Female = 1,680 from above.  But not all of them are single.Young Married Females = 800 from aboveYoung Female Single = Young Female - Young Married Females = 1,680 - 800 = 880
