Question

In a school, the number of female teachers is 11 more than the number of male teachers. If the total number of teachers in the school is 55, how many are male and how many are female?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the female teacher is 11 so male is55-11=44

Answer 2

Answer:

let the number of male teacher's be x

then, the number of female teacher's= 55- x

According to the question,

( 55-x) - x = 11

=> 55- x - x = 11

=> -2x = 11-55

=> -2x = -44

=> 2x= 44

=> x = 44/2

=> x = 22

therefore, number of male teachers = x= 22

number of female teacher's = 55- x = 55- 22 = 33
