Solution Steps

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the percentage of young women (ages 18-34) who consider being successful in a high-paying career as either "one of the most important things" or "very important, but not the most." We will sum the percentages of these two categories for young women.

Step 1: Identify Relevant Percentages

To determine the percentage of young women (ages 18-34) who consider being successful in a high-paying career as either "one of the most important things" or "very important," we first identify the relevant percentages from the data. The percentage for "one of the most important things" is \(8\%\), and for "very important, but not the most," it is \(32\%\).

Step 2: Calculate the Total Percentage

We sum the percentages of the two categories to find the total percentage of young women who consider it important to be successful in a high-paying career: \[ \text{Total Percentage} = 8\% + 32\% = 40\% \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{40\%}\)
