Question

40% of the population of a town are men 39% are women if the number of children is 12600 find the number of men​

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of men is 24000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 40% of population of town are men

Also, 39% of population of town are women

Thus, percentage of children = 100 - (40 + 39) = 100 - 79 = 21%

Also, given that number of children = 12600

Let the total population be x

Thus, we have

21% of x = 12600

21/100 × x = 12600

x = (12600 × 100)/21

x = 60000

Hence, total population = 60000

Now, number of men = 40/100 × 60000 = 40 × 600 = 24000
