Question

20% of the population of a town are men 40% are women if the no of children is 20000 find the no of women

Answer 1

Percentage of children= 100-(40+20)=40%
Therefore 40% are children
Let total number of people be x
Which means 40% of x = 20000
x= 100/40×20000 = 50000 are total people
So number of women are 40% of 50000
=40/100×50000=20000
Hope it helps ☺☺
