A house has the population of 560 people.120 people are married while the rest are unmarried.what is the percentage of the unmarried

Answer 1

The number of unmarried people can be calculated by subtracting the number of married people from the total population:

Number of unmarried people = Total population - Number of married people

Number of unmarried people = 560 - 120
Number of unmarried people = 440

To calculate the percentage of the unmarried, divide the number of unmarried people by the total population and multiply by 100:

Percentage of unmarried people = (Number of unmarried people / Total population) * 100

Percentage of unmarried people = (440 / 560) * 100
Percentage of unmarried people = 0.7857 * 100
Percentage of unmarried people ≈ 78.57%

Therefore, the percentage of the unmarried in the house is approximately 78.57%.
