Answer:

2000000000000)000000000

Answer 2

The percentage of unmarried women is 92%.

Given:

The total population is 12,60,000 and 2/3rd are men. It is also given that 40% of the men are married.

To Find:

We need to find the percentage of unmarried women.

Solution:

The population of men in London is

$= \frac{2}{3} \times 1260000$

$= 840000$

The population of the men is 840000.

The population of the women is

$= 1260000 - 840000$

$= 420000$

The population of the women is 420000.

40% of men are married which means

$= \frac{40}{100} \times 840000$

$= 336000$

It means 336000 women are married.

The number of unmarried women is

$420000 - 336000$

$= 386400$

The percentage of unmarried women is

$= \frac{386400}{420000} \times 100$

$= 0.92 \times 100$

$= 92\%$

Therefore, the percentage of unmarried women in London is 92%.
