Question

On an annual basis, a hospital delivers 1820 babies. If 55% of the babies born are male, how many females are born in a year?

Answer 1

The total number of babies is 1820

If 55% of the babies born are male, then the percentage that the babies born are female is,

`100-55=45`

Therefore, the percentage of female babies is 45%. Let n be the number of female babies born in a year. Therefore, we have,

`n=(45)/(100)*1820=819`
