A city has a population of 2.8 million people. 45% of the population are male. How many females live in the city?

1.54 million

Step-by-step explanation:

If 45% of the population are males, then 55% are females. 55%=55/100=0.55. Multiplying this by the total population of the city, you can find that it has 0.55*2,800,00=1.54 million females. Hope this helps!

answer: i feel you honey.

step-by-step explanation:

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
