Answer 1

Answer:

130

Step-by-step explanation:

TOTAL POPULATION= 1000

NUMBER OF MEN= 1000 X 60/100

                              =600

NUMBER OF LITERATE MEN= 600 X 20/100

                                               =120

TOTAL LITERATE POPULATION= 1000 X 25/100

                                                      = 250

therefore, TOTAL WOMEN LITERATE POPULATION= 250-120

                                                                                       = 130

Answer 2

32.5% of the females of the town are literate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The are 1000 inhabitants.

60% of them are male.

$1000\times\frac{60}{100}=600$

There are 600 male and 400 female.

20% of them are literate.

$600\times\frac{20}{100}=120$

120 males are literate.

If, of all the inhabitants, 25% are literate,

25% of 1000 is 250.

Number of female literate is 250-120=130.

$\text{Percent of the females literate}=\frac{130}{400}\times100=32.5$

Hence, 32.5% of the females of the town are literate.
