what is the number of children in the city?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 23,29,361(The number of children in the city)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of children in the city

Step 1 = Let the number of children in the city be x

The total population of the big city is 1,35,40,716(given)

The population is divided into three categories : males, females and children(given)

So, Sum of the number of males, females and children = Total population of the city

Step 2 = To find the number of children in the city we have to form an equation

The equation forms like this

The number of males in the city + The number of females + x(The number of children in the city) = Total population of the city

56,32,250 + 55,79,105 + x = 1,35,40,716

1,12,11,355 + x = 1,35,40,716

x(The number of children in the city) = 1,35,40,716 - 1,12,11,355

                                                             = 23,29,361

(The number of children in  the city[23,29,361])
