880

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem a bit annoying, but let's classify the numbers and see where we can get from there:

Total = 10,000

Young = 3,000

Old = 7,000 (not young defined as 10,000 - 3,000)

Male = 4,600

Female = 5,400

Married = 7,000

Single = 3,000

Young Males = 1,320

Young Females = 3,000 (young) - 1,320 = 1,680

Married Males = 3,010

Married Females = 7,000 - 3,010 = 2,990

Young Married = 1,400

Young Married Males = 600

Young Married Females = 1,400 - 600 = 800

Young Female Single = ?

Young Female = 1,680 from above. But not all of them are single.

Young Married Females = 800 from above

Young Female Single = Young Female - Young Married Females = 1,680 - 800 = 880
