Question

If there are 35% women and 1560 men in a town find the total population of the town.

Answer 1

Answer:

2400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total population of town be x

Given,  Women = 35% of total  = 35/100 * x = 0.35x.

So Men = total population - women population = x - 0.35x = 0.65x

But given total Men in the town = 1560

=> 0.65x = 1560

=> x = 1560 / 0.65 =  2400

Thus the total population of town = 2400.

Answer 2

Answer:

2400

Step-by-step explanation:

let total population of town be 100

women are = 35%of total population

= 35% of 100

=100x35/100 = 35

remaining are men = 100-35 = 65

but according to question men are 1560

so, 65 = 1560

1 = 1560/65= 24

so the population of town = 100 x 24

= 2400
