people, 40% are women. Find the percentage of literate women to the total population?​

Answer 1

Answer:

32%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total population = 8000

Find the number of literate:

number of literate = 80% of 8000

number of literate = 0.8 x 8000 = 6400

Find the number of women that are literate:

number of women that are literate = 40% of 6400

number of women that are literate = 0.4 x 6400

number of women that are literate = 2560

Find the percentage of women that are literate:

Percentage = 2560/8000 x 100

Percentage =32%

Answer: 32%
