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
