1% → 1.6
This is a decimal, but it doesn't mean the number of men /women are decimals. They will end up as whole numbers (refer to below)
Secondly, you've only calculated 100%. Don't forget the question is asking for number of adults. This means both men and women.
Men → 130%
Women →100%
Total → 230%
230%→ 1.6 x 230
= 368
Check :
men → 130% = 130 x 1.6 = 208
women → 100% = 100 x 1.6 = 160
Total = 368
Difference = 48
