Toll of two towns (Posted on 2022-02-02) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The population of town A is 20,000 people. 2% of them are one legged and wear only 1 shoe each. Half of the rest goes barefoot while the other part wears one pair of shoes each.
The neighboring town B has 25% one legged people and the rest is 37.5% barefooted and 37.5 normal-wear people.

Given that the quantity of 20,000 shoes accommodates Town B what is its population?

Please ignore the subject of left/right , sizes etc
