Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
If we go by 20's (20% of 100) 100% is 5. Since were dealing with 120% in our case we'll be dividing by 6 <u>to figure out what every 20% is</u>. All we need to do it's divide 48 by 6 and we get the answer 8. So in our case every 20% is equal to 8. now to solve for 100% all we need to do is subtract 8 (20%) from 120% (48) and we find 100% is 40. We could also do 8 x 5. (<em>remember every 1 is 20% in our case</em>) which is also 40. Therefore, your answer is 40.

Answer:
w = 238
Step-by-step explanation:
So create a system of equations if the number of m = 2w where the men's number is twice the women's number. and m + w = 714 so substitute 2w for m
2w + w = 714 so 3w = 714, divide both sides by 3, you get w = 238
