Question

if 60 percent of workers in factory are females and number of males are 496? Find number of females in factory?

Answer 1

Total Percentage of male and female workers = 100%

Percentage of female workers = 60%

Number of male workers = 496

Percentage of male workers =
(100 - 60)% = 40%

Number of female workers = ?

Now, let the total total number of workers be x

Then,
40 % of total = 496
=> 40/100 × x = 496
=> 40x/100 = 496
=> 40x = 496 × 100 = 49600
=> x = 49600/40
=> x = 1240

Hence, total number of workers = 1240

Now, number of female workers,
= 60% of total
= 60/100 × 1240
= 6 × 124
= 744

$\boxed{\boxed{\red{Hence,\: number \: of\: female \: workers \: is \: 744}}}$
