To get the number of females, deduct the number of males from the total number of adults.

186 - 101 = 85 females

Percentage of females in the population
85/186 = 0.457 x 100% = 45.70%;

Percentage of males in the population
101/186 = 0.543 x 100% = 54.30%

From a population of 186 adults where 101 of them are males, the remaining 85 adults are females. This answer is derived by deducting 101 from 186, resulting to a difference of 85.

The females comprise 45.70% of the total adult population while the males fill the remaining 54.30% of the total population.
