Answer:
Given that
= No. of people in funfair =1600
=the ratio of children to adults =2:3
:.Let the ratio be 2x and 3x
:.Let the women be 'x'
So,
=2x+3x=1600
=5x=1600
=x=1600/5
=320
=2x=2(320)=640
=3x=3(320)=960
the total no of children and adults =1600
women =960-640=320
=320/1600*100=20%
the percentage of women =20%
the percentage of children =640/1600*100
=40%
Hope it's correct answer!
