Study the given table and answer the question that follows.
The table shows the percentage population of four states below poverty line and the proportion of male to female.



If the population of states A and D is $18,000$ each, then what is the total number of females below the poverty line in these states combined?

Step 1: Calculate the number of females below the poverty line in State A
Total population of State A = $18,000$
Percentage below poverty line = $36\%$
Population below poverty line in A = $18000\times \frac{36}{100}=6,480$
Ratio of Male : Female below poverty line in A = $5:3$
Number of females below poverty line in A = $6480\times \frac{3}{5+3}=6480\times \frac{3}{8}=810\times 3=2,430$

Step 2: Calculate the number of females below the poverty line in State D
Total population of State D = $18,000$
Percentage below poverty line = $32\%$
Population below poverty line in D = $18000\times \frac{32}{100}=5,760$
Ratio of Male : Female below poverty line in D = $1:2$
Number of females below poverty line in D = $5760\times \frac{2}{1+2}=5760\times \frac{2}{3}=1920\times 2=3,840$

Step 3: Calculate the total number of females combined

$$\text{Total females below poverty line}=2430+3840=6,270$$
