Let's represent the population of men in accounting as "x".
Given that the population of women in accounting is 64,250 and the population of men is 2,990 less than that of women, we can write the following equation:
x = 64,250 - 2,990
Now, we are given that the population of children is the same as the population of men, so we can write the following equation:
x = 35,300
Therefore, we can substitute the value of x from the second equation into the first equation:
35,300 = 64,250 - 2,990
Simplifying the equation, we get:
35,300 = 61,260
To find the total population of people in the county, we need to add the populations of women, men, and children together:
Total population = 35,300 + 35,300 + 64,250
Total population = 70,600 + 64,250
Total population = 134,850
Therefore, the total population of people in the county is 134,850.
The population of women in accounting is 64,250. That of men is 2,990 less than that of women. If the population of children is 35,300 then that of men. Find the total population of people in the county
