35

Greetings..!

percentage of women = 40%

percentage of men = 35 %

so, remaining percentage ( children ) = {100-(35+40)} = 25%

so, 25% of total pop are children = 20000.

clearly,1 % = 20000/25 = 800

no of women = 1%(800) * percentage of women = 800*40 = 32000

35 + 40 + x = 100

therefore x = 25

therefore percentage of children is 25%

if 25% of total population is 20000 then total population is 20000 * 100 * 25  which is equal to 80000.

no of women = 40% of 80000 = 32000


vipin786: how its calculate
