Question

The ratio of males to females at a party is 3:5 and there are 12 more females than males . How many people are at the party?

Answer 1

Answer:

48 (30 females, 18 males)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of males to females is 3:5

Let number of males be 3x and number of females be 5x.

Given:

3x+12 = 5x (∵ Number of females is greater than males. So, 12 will be added to 3x)

⇒3x-5x = -12

⇒-2x = -12

⇒x = $\frac{-12}{-2}$

⇒x = 6

∴ Number of males = 3x = 3×6 = 18

& Number of females = 5x = 5×6 = 30

So, people at the party are (18+30) , i.e., 48.
