35% women and 25% children is a total of 60%.
\n" ); document.write( "that 100% - 60% = 40%\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "40% of the population is men.
\n" ); document.write( "there are 256000 men.
\n" ); document.write( "let x number of people in the population.
\n" ); document.write( "40% of x = .4 * x = number of men.
\n" ); document.write( ".4 * x = 256000.
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by .4 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 256000 / .4
\n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get x = 640000
\n" ); document.write( "there are 640000 people in the population.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "35% of 640000 = .35 * 640000 = 224000 women.
\n" ); document.write( "25% of 640000 = .25 * 640000 = 160000 children.
\n" ); document.write( "40% of 640000 = .40 * 640000 = 256000 men.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "total population is 224000 + 160000 + 256000 = 640000
\n" ); document.write( "solution is confirmed.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the number of people in the population is 640,000.\r
