The total population of a town is 26000. 25% of total men are educated. The ratio between the total number of women and the number of uneducated men is 2 : 5. 2 / 3 of the total numbers of women are educated. Then find the educated men are what percent of the number of educated women? Correct Answer 125%

Given:

The total population of town = 26000

Educated men = 25% of the total number of men

The ratio between the total number of women and the number of uneducated men = 2 : 5

Educated women = 2 / 3 of the total number of women

Formula used:

Percentage formula = (Value / Total value) × 100

Calculation:

Let, the total number of men = x

And the total number of women = Y

We know that 25% of men are educated then uneducated men are 75% of the total number of men.

We know the ratio between the total number of women and uneducated men = 2 : 5

Total number of uneducated men = (75 / 100) × x = 3x / 4

Now to find the ratio between the total number of women and men

⇒ Y / (3x / 4) = 2 / 5

⇒ Y / x = 3 / 10

The ratio between the total number of women and men = 3 : 10

To find total men or women

⇒ The ratio of men or women / total ratio of both (men’s ratio + women’s ratio) × total population

Then total women = 3 / 13 × 26000 = 6000

Total men = 10 / 13 × 26000 = 20000

Educated men = 25% of total men

⇒ (25 / 100) × 20000 = 5000

Educated women = 2 / 3 of the total number of women

⇒ (2 / 3) × 6000 = 4000

Now to find the educated men are what percent of the number of educated women

⇒ (educated men / educated women) × 100

⇒ (5000 / 4000) × 100 = 125%

∴ Educated men are 125% of the number of educated women.
