Gary...

Sorry for confusion and let me try to explain it in another way: In 1930
the total population of the municipality of Cernauti (Czernowitz), i. e. the
urban population, added up to

112,427 inhabitants, out of which

42,592 (= 37.90 %) were Jews,
69,835 (= 62.10 %) were non-Jews.

The summation of the three figures (42,592 + 32,731 + 42,932) DOESN'T WORK
since these figures stand for the answer on three different questions,
raised by the interviewers:

What is your nativity? 42,592 (= 37.90 %) declared themselves being Jewish.
What is your monther tongue? 32,731 (= 29.10 %) declared Yiddish as mother
tongue.
What is your religion? 42,932 (= 38.20 %) declared Mozaic religion.

I do hope now, after mentioning the number of non-Jews (69,835 = 62.10 %)
explicitly, the calculation becomes much more understandable. Sorry once
again for confusion.
