The total number of people in society T is 5200 and children make up 13% of this population. The number of children in society T is 13% of 5200, which is 0.13 * 5200 = 676. The total number of people in society V is 4850 and children make up 22% of this population. The number of children in society V is 22% of 4850, which is 0.22 * 4850 = 1067. Adding these together gives a total of 676 + 1067 = 1743 children.
