The ratio of people who do not wear formal dress to the total number of people is 61/120.
Explanation:
Let the number of men be "x"
- Number of women = 3/5x
2/3 of the men wear formal dress and 1/5 of the women wear formal dress.
Therefore, 2/3x of the total men wear formal dress and 3/25x of the total women wear formal dress.
- Men without formal dress = x - 2/3x = 1/3x.
Women without formal dress = 3/5x - 3/25x = 12/25x.
Total no. of people = men without formal dress + women without formal dress
= 1/3x + 12/25x = 61/75x
Total no. of people = number of men +number of women
= x + 3/5x = 8/5x
Ratio = 61x / 75 ÷ 8x / 5 = 61/120
Thus the ratio of people who do not wear formal dress to the total number of people is 61/120.
