◀ HEY THERE!!◀



$\huge{\bold{SOLUTION:-}}$


◀ Let the total Population of the town be 'x'.

◀ Given: Percentage of man in the town = 40%


◀ Percentage of woman in the town = 35%

→ •°• Percentage of Children in the town = 100-(35+40)%

Percentage of Children in the town =25

◀ Given : Number of Children = 20,000

→ •°• 25% of x = 20,000

◀ 25/100 × x = 20,000


◀ 25x/100 = 20,000


◀ 25x = 20,000 × 100


→ x = 20,000× 100/25

→ •°• x = 20,000 × 4

◀ •°• x = 80,000◀


Now, → According to the Question Statement!


◀ Find the number of men's in the town!◀


◀ Number of men's in the town = 40% of 80,000

Answer 2

Given:-


Men = 40%

Women = 35%

Children = 20000

Solution:

25% of x = 20,000

25/100 × x = 20,000


25x/100 = 20,000


25x = 20,000 × 100


x = 20,000× 100/25



x = 80,000


ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION


40% of 80,000

40/100 × 80,000
