We need two equations, can you find one of them, then I will find the other?

anonymous · Answer

There are two equations:
f+m=110 and 3f+10=m.
Substitute m in f+m for 3f+10 to get
f+3f+10=110
add the fs and subtract the 10 to get
4f=100
f=25, so there were 25 females. You can find the amount of males.
