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
