Q. The total population of a country is 294000, out of which 150000 are males. Out of every 100 males, 98 can read and write, but only 53% of the total population can do so. Find the percentage of women who can read and write.
Explanation by: Yogesh
Number of men who can read and write = 150000 × (98 ÷ 100) =147000 Number of men and women who can read and write =294000 × (53 ÷ 100) =155820 Number of women who can read and write 155820 - 147000 = 8820 Thus, out of 144000 women 8820 can read and write. Required percentage = (8820 × 100) ⁄ 144000 %= 6.125
