Question

In a certain town 25% families own a cell phone, 15% families own a scooter and 65% families own neither a cell phone nor a scooter. If 1500 families own both a cell phone and a scooter, then the total number of families in the town is

  1. (a) 10000  
  2. 20000  
  3. 30000  
  4. 40000  

The correct answer is: 30000


    Let the total population of town be x.

    therefore blank fraction numerator 25 x over denominator 100 end fraction plus fraction numerator 15 x over denominator 100 end fraction minus 1500 plus fraction numerator 65 x over denominator 100 end fraction equals x
    rightwards double arrow blank fraction numerator 105 x over denominator 100 end fraction minus x equals 1500
    rightwards double arrow blank fraction numerator 5 x over denominator 100 end fraction equals 1500
    rightwards double arrow blank x equals 30000
