Question

in a bus 40% of the passengers were women. the bus carried 801 passengers, 12 of them being children. how many men were there in the bus

Answer 1

Total passengers = 801

Women = 40%

$= 40\% \: of \: 801$

$= 320.4$

No. of women = 320

Children = 12

Total = Women + Men + Children

$801 = 320 + x + 12$

$x = 801 - 320 - 12$

$x = 469$

No. of men in the bus is 469.
