To solve this problem, we need to determine the value of x, which represents the percentage of the population that is women.
Let's break down the information given:
Total population of Los Angeles: 6 million
Number of women working in retail: 1 million
Percentage of women working in retail: 1/3 of the total women population
We can set up the equation as follows:
(Number of women working in retail) / (Total women population) = (Percentage of women working in retail) / 100
1 million / (x% of 6 million) = 1/3 / 100
Let's simplify and solve for x:
1 million / (x/100 * 6 million) = 1/3 / 100
1 million * 100 / (x * 6 million) = 1/3
1 million * 100 * 3 = x * 6 million
300 million = 6 millionx
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 6 million:
300 million / 6 million = x
50 = x
The value of x is 50.
#### 50
The answer is: 50
