Question

In a group there are 60% gentlemen 32 ladies. Find the total number of members in the group​

Answer 1

Answer:

The total number of members in the group are 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of people be X

60% of X is 60X/100 = 3X/5

Total number of men = 3X/5

3X/5+32=X

[3X+160]/5 = X

3X+160 = 5X

160 =5X-3X

160 = 2X

160/2 = X

80 = X

The total number of people are 80

     VERIFICATION :

Number of men = 3X/5 =3 x 80/5 = 3 x 16 = 48

60% of 80 is 60 x 80/100 = 48

48+32=80
