Answer :

Sure, let's break down the problem step by step to determine the number of children living in the city.

1. Determine the total population:
The total population of the city is 3,456,555.

2. Determine the number of adult males:
The number of adult males in the city is 1,555,350.

3. Determine the number of adult females:
The number of adult females in the city is 1,225,555.

4. Calculate the total number of adults:
To find the total number of adults in the city, we add the number of adult males and the number of adult females.

[tex]\[ \text{Total number of adults} = \text{Adult males} + \text{Adult females} \][/tex]

By substituting the given values:

[tex]\[ \text{Total number of adults} = 1,555,350 + 1,225,555 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Total number of adults} = 2,780,905 \][/tex]

5. Calculate the number of children:
To find the number of children, we subtract the total number of adults from the total population.

[tex]\[ \text{Number of children} = \text{Total population} - \text{Total number of adults} \][/tex]

By substituting the previously calculated values:

[tex]\[ \text{Number of children} = 3,456,555 - 2,780,905 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Number of children} = 675,650 \][/tex]

Therefore, the number of children living in the city is 675,650.
