Answers
There are 6 men, 30 women and 64 children making it up to total 100 population.
Explanation:
There Are 100 Mangoes and Population is also 100.
Step-by-step explanation:
6 men = 24 mangoes
30 women = 60 mangoes
64 children = 16 mangoes
Total population (100) Total mangoes(100)
6 Men x 4 = 24 Mangoes
30 Women x 2 = 60 Mangoes
64 Children \ 4 = 16 Mangoes
100 Population = 100 Mangoes
Hence there are 6 men, 30 women and 64 children making it up to total 100 population.
Given data:
- According to the given question, there are 100 mangoes in a basket.
- The population is 100 people.
- However, one gave four fruits to a man, two fruits to a woman, and one fruit to four children.
To find:
How many men, women, and children were there?
Solution:
For a while, the total number of men who took the fruits be 'x' and the number of females be 'y'.
Then, the number of children becomes 100 - (x + y).
The equation that comes when these are arranged in the order given is:
4x + 2y + [(100 - (x + y)) / 4] = 100
16x + 8y + 100 - x - y = 100 * 4
15x + 7y = 400 - 100
15x + 7y = 300
The rephrased equation will be
x = (300 - 7y) / 15
Since there are two unknown variables here, we need to see which values should be placed in the 'y' position, such that the equation is completely divided and gives a natural number as an output.
The resulting x,y pairs are: [without 0]
If y = 15 then x = 13.
If y = 30 then x = 6.
On substitution, the possible answers that we found here are:
Answer 1:
Number of females: 15
Number of males: 13
Number of children: 72
Or
Answer 2:
Number of females: 30
Number of males: 6
Number of children: 64
