Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Of the total number of people in a town, 40% are men, 25% are children and 17500 are women.

Let, the total number of people in the town be 100%

So, total number of men and children = 40%+25%=65%

100%-65%=35% which is the number of women.

Now,

35% people are equivalent to 17500 people

Therefore, 1% people are equivalent to 17500÷35÷100

Therefore, 40% people are equivalent to 17500÷35÷100×40÷100

= 17500×100÷35×40÷100

= 17500×8÷7

= 20000
