Here’s Looking at You. According to University of Texas economist Daniel Hamermesh ( Beauty Pays: Why Attractive People Are More Successful ), strikingly attractive and good looking men and women can expect to earn an average of $230,000 more in a lifetime than a person who is homely or plain. (Your author feels the need to start affirmative action for the beauty-bereft, consoled by the reality that looks are only one of many things that matter.) The bar graph shows the distribution of looks for American men and women, ranging from homely to strikingly attractive.

The percentage of average-looking men exceeds the percentage of strikingly attractive men by 57. The percentage of good-looking men exceeds the percentage of strikingly attractive men by 25. A total of 88% of American men range between average looking, good-looking, and strikingly attractive. Find the percentage of men who fall within each of these three categories of looks.
