In Louisville, 40% of the population is female and 60% are males. 36% of Louisville's population is under 18. The ratio of males to females who are under 18 is 2:1. If there are 1,176 males who are under 18, what is the population of females who are over 18.

1411 females

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Male population = 60%

Female population = 40%

36% of total population are under 18

Ratio of male to female under 18 = 2 : 1

Males under 18 = 1176

Females over 18 =?

The population of females under 18:

If males under 18 = 1176

Then female under 18 = 1176 / 2 = 588

Hence number of population under 18 = (1176 + 588) = 1764

1764 = 36% of the entire population

Hence, (100 - 36)% = 64% of the entire population are over 18

1764 = 0.36

x = 0.72

x = (0.72 * 1764) / 0.36

x = 3528

Hence, 40% of the population above 18 are female

0.4 * 3528 = 1411.2

= 1411 females are over 18
