Answer 1

Answer:

Number of women in the town =  32000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

35% of the population of a town are men and 40% are women

The number of children = 20000

To find,

The number of women in the town

Solution:

Let 'x' be the total population

Since 35% of the population are men, we have

Total men in the town = 35%x

Since 40% of the population are women, we have

Total women in the town = 40%x

Total population of the town = Total men +Total women + Total children

x = 35%x +  40%x + 20000

x = 75%x + 20000

x - 75%x =  20000

25%x = 20000

x = 20000 ×$\frac{100}{25}$

x = 20000 ×4

= 80000

∴Total population of the town = 80,000

Number of women =  80,000 × 40% = 32000

∴ Number of women in the town=  32000
