Best answer

Population of the village = 8000 people 

Literate people = 80 % of population 

= 80 % of 8000 

= \(\frac{80}{100}\) x 8000 

Literate people = 6400 

Percentage of women = 40 % 

Number of women = 40 % of literate people 

= \(\frac{40}{100}\) x 6400 

= 2560 

∴ Literate women : Total population

= 8000 : 2560 

= 25 : 8
