Question: The population of a village is 25000. One-fifth are females and the rest are males, 5% of males and 40% of females are uneducated. What percentage on the whole are educated?

Solution:
Number of females = 25000 × 1/5
= 5000
Number of males = (25000 - 5000)
= 20000

Number of educated females = 5000 × 60/100
= 3000
Number of educated males = 20000 × 95/100
= 19000

Total educated population = 22000
Percentage of educated population = (22000/25000) × 100
= 88%
