Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the total percentage is 100%

percentage of men + percentage of women + percentage of children = 100%

40% + 35% + percentage of children = 100%

percentage of children + 75% = 100%

percentage of children = 25%

percentage = number of childrens / total number x 100

25 = 20000 / total number x 100

total number = 20000 / 25 x 100

total number = 20000 x 4

                      = 80000

now percent of men = number of men/total number x 100

40 = number of men / 80000 x 100

number of men = 40 x 80000 / 100

                           = 32000 mens in the city
