Question

35% of the population of a town are men and 40% arw women. if the number children is 20000.find the number of women

Answer 1

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
