The population of a town is 15000. If the number of males increases by 8% and that of females by 10%, then the population would increase to 16300. Find the number of females in the town.
let the number of males be m and number of females be f
m + f = 15000
now males are increased by 8% and females by 10 %
1.08 m + 1.1 f = 16300
solving both the equations
f = 5000
