Answer 1

male + female = 300.................. equation (i)
5000* male + 2500* female =985000
Divide through by 2500 
2* male+ female = 394 ...................... equation (ii)
subtract equation (i) and (ii) 
male = 94 
male + female = 300 
94 + female = 300 
female = 300-94 
female = 206

so female workers = 206 and male workers = 94
