Three towns, Toadon, Gordonia, and Lake Bright, have 80000 people. Gordonia has 1/2 times the total population in the three cities. If the population of Toadon is 60 percent of Gordonia's population, how many people live in Lake Bright?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
The population of Gordonia is 1 / 2 * 80000 people = 40000 people. Toadon has 60 / 100 * 40000 people = 24000 people. The total population of Gordonia and Toadon is 40000 people + 24000 people = 64000 people. The population of Lake Bright is 80000 people - 64000 people = 16000 people.
Thus, the answer is 16000.
