Question

Fifty three percent of a counties population is female. If there are 535 people who are female in the county, how many total people are there? (Round to the nearest WHOLE number)

Answer 1

Answer:

There are a total of (about) 1,009 people in the country.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the total number of people in the country. Let us set up an equation. We have to convert the percentages into decimals.

53 + 47 = 100

53% = 0.53

47% = 0.47

Let us use p as the variable which represents the total number of people. We can use one of the percentages to find our answer. We will use 53%

0.53 * p = 535

53% of the total number of people are 535 females.

0.53p = 535

p = 1,009.43396226...

1,009.43396226 ≈ 1,009 people
