Question

18. 30% of the population of a town are women, 55% are the male and the remaining are children. If the
number of women are 15000, find the number of children in the town.​

Answer 1

Answer:

children=100-(30+55)

=100-85=15%

let total population of the town be x

so, 30/100*x=15000

30x=1500000

x=500000

hence total population is 500000

children=15%

so, 15/100*500000=75000

therefore, the no. of children are 75000

Answer 2

Take the total population to be x.

100-(30%+55%)=15%

(30/100)x=15000

x=15000*100/30=50000

No. of children = 50000 * 15/100= 7500
