Question

The population of a town is 20,000. If the number of men is
1100 more than four-fifth of the number of women, find
the number of men and women in the city.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of women be x

so men will be 1100+4/5x

now A/Q

x+1100+4/5x = 20000

2x+1100+4/5 = 20000

2x+880=20000

2x=20000-880

2x=19120

x=9560

so women =x=9560

and men = 20000-9560 =10440

Answer 2

Answer:

women = 9,560    and      men = 10,440

Step-by-step explanation:

x+1,100+4/5x = 20,000

2x+1,100+4/5 = 20,000

2x+880=20,000

2x=20,000-880

2x=19,120

x=9,560

women =x=9,560

men = 20,000-9,560 =10,440
