If the population of states Q and S is 14,700 each, what is the total number of males below poverty line in these states?

Accepted Answer

Let's solve step by step:

Step 1: Find the population below poverty line in Q and S.

For Q:
- Total population = 14,700
- Percentage below poverty line = 19%
- Population below poverty line = 19% of 14,700 = (19/100) × 14,700 = 2,793

For S:
- Total population = 14,700
- Percentage below poverty line = 15%
- Population below poverty line = 15% of 14,700 = (15/100) × 14,700 = 2,205

Step 2: Find the number of males below poverty line in each state.

For Q:
- Ratio of male to female below poverty line = 2 : 5
- Total parts = 2 + 5 = 7
- Number of males = (2/7) × 2,793 = 798

For S:
- Ratio of male to female below poverty line = 1 : 6
- Total parts = 1 + 6 = 7
- Number of males = (1/7) × 2,205 = 315

Step 3: Add the number of males in both states:
- Total males below poverty line = 798 (Q) + 315 (S) = 1,113

Therefore, the total number of males below poverty line in states Q and S is 1,113.
