Question: Salem is 15 times the size of Leesburg. Leesburg has 58940 people. If 130000 people move out of Salem, and half of Salem's population is women, how many women live in Salem? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The number of inhabitants of Salem is 15 * 58940 = 884100 inhabitants. But some have moved, so there are 884100 - 130000 = 754100 inhabitants left. Of these, 754100 / 2 = 377050 are women. So the answer is 377050.
