Question

60% of the population of a city are men and women. If the number of children is 15400
find the number of men and women in the city.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total population of city=x

Population of men and women= 60%

so the population of children=100-60

=40%

now, Given, number of children=15400

Total population= x×40/100=15400

x=38500

so the number of men and women=38500×60/100

=23100

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer will be 23100

Step-by-step explanation:

pop. of men or women = 60%

pop. of children= 100-60%

= 40%

Now, no. of children =15400

Total Pop. x×40/100=15400

40x/100=15400

40x=15400×100

40x=1540000

x= 1540000/40

x= 38500

So, the no. of men and women= 38500×60/100

= 23100
