forty percent of general hospital medical technologist are women. if there are 80 female medical technologist how many are male?

Respuesta :

40% of the technologists are women, so 60% remaining of the technologists are men.

We have an equation: 80/?= 40/60

Cross multiply:
40*?= 60*80
⇒ ?= 60*80/40= 120

There are 120 male technologists~

If 80 is the 40% then their are 60% men 80/2 is 40. 60 times 2 is 120 so the answer is 120
