Answer 2

Given,

The population of males = 45%

The population of females = 35%.

To find,

The percentage of children in the population.

Solution,

The population of children in the city is 20%.

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

Now,

The population of males and females = (45 + 35)%

The population of males and females = 80%

We know that the percentage of a given thing or object is assumed to be 100.

So, the total population of the city is 100%.

Then,

The population of children in percentage = 100% - the population of males and females in percentage

The population of children in percentage = (100 - 80)%

The population of children in percentage = 20%

Hence, the answer to the given question will be 20%.
