P5 percentage








Women, at first -->   30% x 40 000  =  12 000
Children, at first -->   10% x 40 000 =   4 000
Men, at first  --> 40 000 - (12 000 + 4 000)
                     =   40 000 - 16 000
                     =   24 000

Half the children left, 
Children remaining --> 4 000  /  2  =   2 000

Men didn't leave, hence:
   New 75% --> 24 000
   New 100% --> 24 000 x 100 / 75 = 32 000

Women, at the end --> 32 000 - (24 000 + 2 000)
                                =   32 000 - 26 000
                                =   6 000
