The population of a district is 369000, out of which 186000 are males. 45% of the population is literate. If 45% males are literate, then what percentage of females are literate?

Validate

Solution:

Number of literate people

=(45 \/ 100) × 369000=0.45 × 369000=166050

Number of literate males

=(45 \/ 100) × 186000=0.45 × 186000=83700

Number of literate females

=166050-83700=82350

Number of females

=369000-186000=183000

Percentage of literate females

=(82350 \/ 183000) × 100

Percentage of literate females

≈ 45 \%

⇒ Percentage of literate females

=≈ 45
