Of the 1000 inhabitants of a town,60% are males of whom 20% are literate .If of all the inhabitants, 25% are literate, then what percent of the females of the town are literate ?
Number of males = 60% of 1000 = 600 Number f females = 1000 - 600 = 400
Number of literates = 25 of 1000 = 250.
Number of literate males = 20% of 600 = 120.
Number of literate females = 250 - 120 = 130
`:.` Required percentage = `(130/400 xx 100)`% = 32.5%
