    Ex. 1| About 65% of people who cannot read/write are women, so 35% of people are men.

    Ex. 2| Moreless, 20% of women are government representatives.

    Ex. 3| Women earn about 20% percent less than men. I'm not so sure about this answer, because I found a very strange imformation.

    Ex. 4| Although women work more than 75% in farm land, they own only 10-15% of farm land.
