The ratio of men to women in a county is 94 to 100. How many males does the county have if there are 1082805.75 people?
--------------------------
94 to 100 is the same as 94x to 100x where 94x is the number of men.
----
Equation:
94x + 100x = 1082805.75
194x = 1082805.75
x = 5581.4729
---
# of men = 94x = 524658.46
