Answer:
1.5% = mothers
Step-by-step explanation:
mothers – married women who have children
to find the final percentage, you have to take each percentage as a whole:
50% = total women
20% married of total women married
20% of 50%
= 20 x 50% = 10%
100
= 10% of total women were married/ married women
15% of married women = mothers
15% of 10% = mothers
15 x 10% = 1.5%
100
1.5% = mothers
