Question

Of the adult population in hyderabad, 45% of men and 25% of women are married. what percentage of the total population of adult is married (assume that no men married more than one woman and vice versa)?

Answer 1

Let no of men = x & total population be 100.
Total women = (100-x)
Married man = 45x /100   ---------------(1)
& married women = 25/100 (100-x)  --------- (2)
From (1) & (2)
x = 500/14
So, married man = 225 /14
Married woman = 225/14
Total married population = men + women = 450/14

Answer 2

Answer:

32.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no of men = x & total population be 100.

Total women = (100-x)

Married man = 45x/100   ---(i)

& married women = 25/100 (100-x)  ---(ii)

On solving you will get the value of x

x = 500/14

So, Married man = 225/14 and Married woman = 225/14

Total married population = men + women = 450/14

Required % = (450/14)/100 *100 = 450/14% = 32.14%.
