Answer 1

Given: The population of a town is 3200. Out of which 900 of them are men and the remaining are women. One-fifth of the women and two-sixths of the men went to the fair.

To Find: How many women went to the fair

Solution:

Total population of the town = 3200

Number of men = 900

So, Number of women = (3200 - 900) = 2300

Since it is given that 1/5th of the women went to the fair,

So the number of women who went to the fair =  1/5 (2300)

                                                                             =  460

Hence, a total of 460 women went to the fair.
