Ernesto Liu · Answer 1

There are 175 men, 200 women, and 125 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

7/20 = M/500; M = 175

0.4 x 500 = W; W = 200

175 + 200 + C = 500; C = 125

Gina Martinez · Answer 2

Answer:7/20 = 0.35 = 35%=500x. 35 = 175 men

40%=.40x500 = 200 women

200+170=370

500-370

125 children
