Question

in a society 54% are adults ,26%are children and the rest are old .If there are 26000children.find the number of old in the society

Answer 1

in a society 54% are adults, 26% are children and the rest are old

let x% be old
total no of people in society be y

so, 100y% = 54y% + 26y% + xy%
100y% = 80y% + xy%
xy% = 100y% - 80y%
xy% = 20y%
x% = 20%

so, 20% are old in society

26000 childrens = 26%y
26%y = 26000
26y/100 = 26000
y = (26000 × 100)/26
y = 1,00,000
so total no of people in society, y = 1,00,000

no of old in society = 20% of 1,00,000 = 20,000
