You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Men population = 1,343,164
women population = 97,491
total population = Men population + women population
= 1,343,164 + 97,491
= 1,440,655
percentage of men = (men population / total population) * 100
percentage of weomen = (women population / total population) * 100
solve the equations and you will get the answer.....
