A group of adults and students went on a class trip to Washington, DC. The number of male students was 1 more than 7 times the number of adults. The number of female students was half the number of male students. If the total number of people who went on the trip is 82, find the numbers of male students and female students.
The number of male students is...
A. 36 B. 50 C. 70
The number of female students is...
D. 18 E. 25 F. 35
@rishavraj
let no of adults be = x so no of male students = 7x + 1 no of female st = (7x + 1)/2 @CaseyCarns
i got the answer ... wht s ur answer??
23 for females...? I'm wrong I bet
yeah u r....:(( its x + 7x + 1 + [(7x + 1)/2] = 82
@CaseyCarns get "x" i.e no of adults after tht get the no of male students by plugging value of "x" in 7x + 1 and half the no of male sudents = no of female students....
Yeah I'm trying to do it
