Answer

Answer:

B. 28%

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate percentage of catalogs

Since 22% of mail were magazines, the percentage of catalogs is $100 - 22=78%$.

Step2: Calculate percentage of clothing catalogs

36% of catalogs were clothing. So the percentage of clothing catalogs out of all mail is $0.36\times78 = 28.08%\approx28%$.
