Step-by-step explanation:
total no people = 2500
no of adult = 4/5
no of children = 1/5
no of children = 1/5 of 2500
= 500
no of adults = 4/5 of 2500
= 2000
or
total no of people - no of children = no of adults
2500 - 500 = 2000
no of female = 3/5 of 2000
= 1200
no of male = total no of adults - no of female
= 2000 - 1200
= 800
percentage of male =
no of male/ total no of people * 100
= 800/2500 * 100
= 32 %
percentage of children = 500 / 2500 * 100
= 20 %
