Answer 1

$\huge\underline\bold\color{red}\mathfrak{Answer:-}$

Number of children = 12,500.

Number of Men = 20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of men= 40%.

Percentage of children=25%.

Number of women = 17,500.

Percentage of women= 100%-40%+25%.

= 100%-65%

=35%

It means 35% of the Total number of population were women.

35% of Total number of population=17,500.

$\frac{35}{100} × Total \:number \:of\: Population= 17,500$

Total number of population

→$\frac{ 100×17500}{35}→50,000$

Total number of population = 50,000.

Now it is easy to find the number of men and children when we got the total number of population.

For children, = 25% of 50,000

→$\frac{25}{100}×50,000\\→12,500$

For men= 40% of 50,000

→$\frac{40}{100}×50,000\\→20,000$
