The ratio of the number of rural and urban workers (includes men and women only) in an office is 3 : 2. If 20% of rural and 25% of urban are women, the percentage of men is:
The ratio of the number of rural and urban workers (includes men and women only) in an office is 3 : 2.
Let's assume the number of rural and urban workers in an office are 300y and 200y.
Total workers = 300y+200y
= 500y
If 20% of rural and 25% of urban are women.
Total number of women workers = 300y of 20%+200y of 25%
= 60y+50y
= 110y
Total number of men workers = 500y-110y
= 390y
Percentage of men =Â $$\frac{390y}{500y}\times100$$
=Â $$\frac{390}{5}$$
=Â 78%
