Question

There are 25 students in a room. The number of female students
is 9 more than the number of male students. How many females
students are there? Male students?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the No. of males be x

Let the no of Females be x+9

According to the question

X + (X + 9)= 25

2X + 9 = 25

2X = 25-9

2X = 16

X=16÷2

X=8

Hence , the no. of males are 8 and the total no of students are 25 ( 8 + 17)

(17 are the no. of girls )
