Question

A town has 40% menand 35% women in its population.population.off all children,40% girls.girls.there are1200 girls.girls.what istotal population

Answer 1

Let us consider the population of town=100
then,
men=40
women=35
so the population of children=100-(40+35)=25
according to question
population of girls=40%of 25=25×40/100=10
so,
% of girls=10% and numerically it is equal to 1200
10-----1200
total population(100)=1200×100/10
=12000
