Answer 2

Answer:

The number of female teachers in the school is 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of teachers in the school = 140 teachers

Percentage of teachers that are male = 40 %

Number of male teachers = 140 * 40/100 = 56 male teachers

Number of female teachers = 140 - 56 = 84 female teachers

                                                    OR

Percentage of teachers that are female = 100(total percent) - 40(percent of male) = 60%

∴ Number of female teachers = 140 * 60/100 = 84 female teachers

Therefore, the number of female teachers in the school is 84

We can find the same answer by using both the methods mentioned above
