    Solution

    ATQ,

    Number of women in 2021 = 6000 ├Ч 0.70 = 4200

    Number of men in 2021 = 6000 - 4200 = 1800

    Number of women in 2022 = 4200 ├Ч (13/10) = 5460

    Number of men in 2022 = 1800 ├Ч 0.90 = 1620

    Total participants in 2022 = 5460 + 1620 = 7080

    So, percentage change in total participants = {(7080 - 6000) / 6000} ├Ч 100 = 18%
