Question

A group of volunteers in an NGO has 8 men ,the rest are women. If 66⅔% of the volunteers are men , how many women are there ?

Answer 1

Answer:24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose the total no. Of volunteers is x.

We know ,

No.of men=8

No.of women=44% of x

=2/3 of x

Therefore,

X. =8 men + 2/3 of x

X-(2x/3) = 8

(Taking l.c.m)

(3x-2x)/3=8

X. =8×3

X=24

Hence there are 24 women.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of volunteers = x

no. of men = 8

no. of women = 44% of x

2/3 of x

therefore x = 8 + 2/3 of x

x = (2x/3) = 8

( 3x - 2x )/3 = 8

x = 8 × 3 = 24

Women = 24
