Answer:
The population of town A = 18,000
The population of town B = 15,000
The population of town C = 20,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
A:B = 6:5
B:C = 3:4
total population = 53,000
A + B + C = 53,000
[tex]\frac{A}{B} = \frac{6}{5} \\\\A = \frac{6B}{5} \\\\\Also;\\\\\frac{B}{C} = \frac{3}{4} \\\\C = \frac{4B}{3} \\\\then;\\\\\frac{6B}{5} +B+ \frac{4B}{3} = 53,000\\\\multiply \ through \ by \ "15"\\\\18B + 15B + 20B = 795,000\\\\53B = 795,000\\\\B = \frac{795,000}{53} \\\\B = 15,000[/tex]
Now solve for A and C;
[tex]A = \frac{6 \times 15,000}{5} = 18,000\\\\C = \frac{4 \times 15,000}{3} = 20,000[/tex]
