There are 480 male and female workers in a factory, and male workers account for 60% of the total number. Due to other tasks, some male workers have been transferred. At this time, the number of male workers accounts for 36% of the total number. How many people have been transferred? (hint: after some people have been transferred, the total number has changed. It is no longer 480, otherwise it will be a decimal.)

Original male worker = 480 × 60%
=288 (persons)
Female workers = 480-288 = 192
The proportion of female workers after transfer is 100% - 36% = 64%
Number of people transferred = 192 △ 64%
=300 (person)
Number of people transferred = 480-300
=180 (persons)
