Question 528157
Let {{{ w }}} = number of women in population
Let {{{ m }}} = number of men in population
Because the married women and married
men are paired with each other, I can say
{{{ .3w = .4m }}}
{{{ m = (3/4)*w }}}
I am asked to find:
{{{ ( .3w + .4m ) / ( w + m ) = ( .3w + .3w ) / (w + (3/4)*w) }}}
{{{ .6w / 1.75w = .3428 }}}
To the nearest 1/10 of a percent,
34.3% of the population is married
