In a town, the present number of employed people is 40,000. If the number of employed men decreases by 4% and the number of employed women increases by 12%, the total employed population becomes 40,480. What is the present number of employed men?
Solution: Let number of men = x Then women = 40000 – x 0.96x + 1.12(40000 – x) = 40480 0.96x + 44800 - 1.12x = 40480 – 0.16x = – 4320
