600
Explanation : We know that 5%, or 30 of the men are wearing one earring. Of the other 95%, or 570, we know that half are wearing two earrings and the other half none. This is the same as if they all wore one. first off, 5% of 600 is 5 * 600 / 100 = 30. So 95% is 570. so there are 570 + 30 = 600 earrings.
