the population of a town is 1,03.500 if 56%of the population is male find the number of females in the town

The population you gave isn't formatted correctly so I'll solve the problem assuming you mean 103,500.

First we find the number of males from the percentage given:

0.56 * 103500 = 57960 males

Subtract the number of males from the total population to get the number of females:

103500 - 57960 = 45540 females

You could solve the problem by finding the percentage of females first. Since there are 56% males, that means there are 100-56 = 44% females.

0.44 * 103500 = 45540

The answer is 45540.
