Givens

Male = 138,053,563

Female = 143,368,343

Total

The total equals 281 421 906

Percents

Male = (138,053,563 / 281 421 906) * 100 = 49.1%

Female = ( 143,368,343/ 281 421 906) * 100 = 50.94%

Rounded

Male = 49

Female = 51

Comment.

To find this %s you could just use the first 3 digits of everything.

Total = 138 + 143 = 281

% male = (138/281) = 49.1

% female = (143/281) * 100 = 50.88

These give you the same answers when rounding.
