a What percentage of the choir are men?
b What percentage are women?
C.10 more men and 10 more women join the choir. What are the percentages of men and women now?​

Answer 1

Solution :-

a]

% of men = 24/60 × 100

% of men = 4/10 × 100

% of men = 4 × 10

% of men = 40%

b]

% of women = 36/60 × 100

% of women = 6/10 × 100

% of women = 6 × 10

% of women = 60%

c]

Men = 24 + 10 = 34

Women = 36 + 10 = 46

Total = 34 + 46 = 80

% of men = 34/80 × 100 = 42.5

% of women = (100 - 42.5) = 57.5 %

Answer 2

Explanation:

Total members in the choir = 24 + 36 = 60

a) Percentage of men =
`(24)/(60)*100`

= 4 * 10 = 40%

b) Percentage of women = 60%

c) Number of men =24 + 10 = 34 men

Number of women = 36 + 10 = 46

Total = 34 + 46 = 80

Percentage of men =
`(34)/(80)*100= 42.5`%

Percentage of women = (100 - 42.5)% = 57.5%
