Question

In a town there are 40% men ,25% children and 17500 are women.Find the number of men

Answer 1

Answer:

20000

Explanation:

Let the total number of people be x.

Percentage of men = 40

Percentage of children = 25

Percentage of woman = 100 - 65 = 35

According to Question,

35% of x = 17500

35/100 x = 17500

x = 17500 × 100/35

x = 50000

Hence, number of men = 40% of 50000 = 40/100 × 50000 = 20000
