    Answer: 87.5%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let say that there're 100 people in the town.

    10% of population were dissatisfied with plumbing jobs = > that's 10 people.

    Half of them deal with Plumber A = > 5 people dissatisfied with plumber A.

    A does 40% of the plumbing jobs in the town = > 40 people use A's service.

    => The probability that a comsumer will obtain a satisfactory plumbing job, given that the plumber was A is: (40-5) / 40 = 87.5%
