Answer 2

Correct Question:-

Of the 1000 inhabitants of a town, 60 % are males of whom 120 % are literate. If, of all the inhabitants, 25% are literate, then what percent of the females of the town are literate ?

Answer:

32. 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of males = 60 % of 1000

Number of females = (100-600) = 400.

Number of literates = 25% of 1000 = 250.

Number of literate males = 20% of 600 = 120.

Number of literate females = (250 - 120) = 130.

Required pecentage = (130/400 ×100 ) % = 32.5 %.

☆Additional Information ☆

Percentage - a rate, number, or amount in each hundred.
