The question is asking for the percentage of employed women who are office or sales workers. Therefore, we need to find the number of employed women who are office or sales workers and divide that by the total number of employed women. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2014, there were approximately 68 million employed women in the United States, and of those, about 21 million were in office and administrative support or sales and related occupations.

To find the percentage, we can divide 21 million by 68 million and then multiply by 100 to get a percentage:

(21,000,000 / 68,000,000) x 100 = 30.88%

Rounded to the nearest whole number, this gives us 31%, which is answer choice A.
