Answer:
There are a total of (about) 1,009 people in the country.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the total number of people in the country. Let us set up an equation. We have to convert the percentages into decimals.
53 + 47 = 100
53% = 0.53
47% = 0.47
Let us use p as the variable which represents the total number of people. We can use one of the percentages to find our answer. We will use 53%
0.53 * p = 535
53% of the total number of people are 535 females.
0.53p = 535
p = 1,009.43396226...
1,009.43396226 ≈ 1,009 people
