95%are female and 185 males what is the total

95% are female.

It means (100% - 95%) are male. 5% are male.

185 are males.

Let total be x.

5% of x = 185

(5/100) * x = 185

x = 185 * 100/5

x = 185 * 20 = 3700

Total = 3700

The total would be 3,700. Because you can cross multiple then divide 185 (# of males) over T (total) equals 5% (percent of males) over 100%. 185x100=18500 and Tx5=5T. So 18,500 divided by 5=3,700. So the total of males and females is 3,700.
