Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the total population be x

no.of men =40/100x

no.of women =39/100x

no.of children =12600

So

(40/100x)+(39/100x)+12600=x

79/100x+12600=x

79x+1260000=100x

100x-79x=1260000

21x=1260000

1260000/21=x

x=60000

So

40x/100=40×60000/100

no.of men=24000
