children is 20000, find the number of women.​

Answer 1

Answer:

32000 is the no.of women

Answer 2

Answer:

Let us assume total population percentage = 100 %

Out of 100 % , men = 35%

women = 40%

Total = 75%

Remaining (100-75 = 25% are children

given 25% = 20,000 children

25% of 100% = 20,000

If 25% --------20,000

100%-------? (x)

x = 20,000 * 100 /25. = 80,000

So total population of village is 80,000

men = 80,000 * 35 % = 28,000

WoMen = 80,000 * 40% = 32,000

Total = ( 32000+ 20,000 +28000= 80,000)
