Question

In a town , 35% are men and 40% are women and there are 20,000 children. Find the no.of men and women in the town.

Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage of children =100-(35+40)

=100-75

=25

Let total population be 'a'

20000/a×100=25

20000×100/25=a

20000×4=a

a=80000

Let the no. of men be 'm'

m/80000×100=35

m/800=35

m=35×800

m=28000

Let the no. of women be 'w'

w/80000×100=40

w/800=40

w=40×800

w=32000

Therefore, men = 28000 & women = 32000
