Answer:
Men : 120 Women: 80
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total population: x
Thus, men = 60% of X
And women = X -120
This putting it into an eq.
Total pop. - Pop. Of men = Women's pop.
X - 60% of X = X-120
Calculating,
100X - 60X/100 = X-120
= 40% of X = X-120
Or,
40X/100=X-120,
40X= 100(X-120)
40X = 100X - 12000
40X - 100X = -12000
-60X = -12000
60X = 12000
X = 12000/60 = 200
Total pop= 200
Women = 200-120=80
Men = 60% of 200 = 120
