Answer:
No. of gonjas = 52
No. of more nzemas than fantes = 78
Step-by-step explanation:
Total no. of people = 520
No. of fantes = × 520
No. of fantes = 156
No. of ewes = × 520 = 130
No. of nzemas = × 520 = 78
No. of gas = × 520 = 104
No. of gonjas = 520 - (156 + 130 + 78 + 104) = 52
No. of fantes = 156
No. of nzemas = 78
No. of more nzemas than fantes = 156 - 78 = 78
