The Civic Club (Posted on 2009-02-14) Difficulty: 3 of 5
There is a civic club in town with fewer than 100 members. Here are some of its statistics:

To the nearest whole percent:

28% are former committee members.
29% are current committee members.
42% have never been on a committee.

Also, 35% of the former committee members are women, again to the nearest whole percent.

How many members does the club have and how many are in each category mentioned above?
