Question

20% of the population in a town are females if there are 72000 males how many females are there?​

Answer 1

Let, the total population be x

Given that : 20% of the population in town are females so the percentage of male population in town = 100-20 = 80%

According to the question :

$x \times \frac{80}{100} = 72000 \\ \\ = > x = \frac{72000 \times 100}{80} = 90000$

So, the total population of town will be 90000

Females in town = 90000-72000 = 18000
