Question

11 There are men and women at a meeting.

Answer 1

Answer:

40 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the total number of persons be x

There are 28 women

The number of men = 30% of x

Step two:

So the total person is given as

30/100*x+28= x

solve for x

0.3x+28= x

collect like terms

x-0.3x= 28

0.7x= 28

divide both sides by 0.7

x= 28/0.7

x= 40 people
