Question

the ratio of males to females in the population of a town is 13 is to 12 find the percentage of males in the population​

Answer 1

let the common ratio be x

13x + 12x = 100

25x = 100

x= 100/25

x=4

multiplying 13 and 12 both by x i.e 4

13×4=52

and

12×4=48

therefore the percentage of males is 52%

and female is 48%

Hope you understand
