Question

Answer 1

Males /total no. ×100%
12000/15000×100%
=80%

Answer 2

Given,

Number of males = 12000

Number of females= 3000

To find,

The percentage of males in the village.

Solution,

The percentage of males in the village will be 80.

According to the question,

Number of males = 12000

Number of females= 3000

So,

The total number of villagers = (12000+3000)

The total number of villagers = 15000

Now,

The percentage of males = (Number of males/total number of villagers) × 100

The percentage of males =

$\frac{12000}{15000} \times 100$

The percentage of males = 12/15 × 100

The percentage of males = 4/5 × 100

The percentage of males = 400/5

The percentage of males = 80

Hence, there are 80% of males in the village.
