Task 1: percentage of people who buy either pop, rock, or classical music

Body paragraph:

In detail, the ratio who bought either pop or rock to classical music was about 1:2 in the over 45-age group, approximately 9% to one in ten. The inverse is true for people aged 25-34, a ratio of 2:1, an average of three in ten to half as many, 15%. For the two age groups, 16-24 and 35-44, the difference is extreme; the ratio was 30:1 in the former and 25:2 in the latter. While about 30% of the men purchased albums either of rock or pop music, 17% of the women did, a difference of approximately 13%. The gender gap was nearly closed for buyers of classical albums, 2%, 9 versus 7 percent.

Thank you a lot.

Specifically, the ratio of pop or rock music to classical music in the over-45 age group was 1:2, or about 9 % to one in ten. Among 25- to 34-year-olds, the ratio is the reverse: 2:1, or an average of three out of ten to half as many, or 15%. Among 16- to 24-year-olds and 35- to 44-year-olds, the difference is extreme: the ratio is 30:1 in the first age group and 25:2 in the second. While about 30% of men bought albums of rock or pop music, the figure for women was 17%, a difference of about 13%. Among buyers of classical albums, the gender gap was almost closed at 2% (9% vs. 7%).
