Question

The number of men and women who attend concert was in the ratio 4:3.if there were a total of 777people there,how many men were there

Answer 1

There were 444 men at the concert.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of people = 777

the ratio of men to women = 4:3

To find:

number of men

Solution:

Let's assume the common multiple between the ratio as y

thus, the men are 4y and the women are 3y

Given the total of people is 777

∴ 4y+3y = 777

∴ 7y = 777

∴ y = 777/7

∴ y = 111

Thus, we use the value of y to find the number of men

The number in the ratio is 4y

So, the number of men = 4 X (111)

∴ Number of men = 444

Thus, there were 444 men at the concert

Answer 2

The number of men is 444.

GIVEN:

The ratio of men and women who attended concert $=4:3$

Total number of people$=777$

To find:

The number of men.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of men be 4x.

Let the number of women be 3x.

According to the question:

$4x+3x=777\\\\\implies 7x=777\\\\\implies x=\frac{777}{7}\\ \\\implies x= 111$

Hence the number of men will be 4x$= 4\times 111=444$.
