Question

In a group of 212 people, there were 32 more males than females. How many males were in the group?

Answer 1

Is 122 males correct?

Answer 2

yeup :)

Answer 3

Total = 212
Let m = males and f = females
There were 32 MORE males than females
Males (m) = 32 + f
this means Total = (32 + f ) + f
212 = 32 + f + f
Now solve for "f"
Then plug it into m = 32 + f to find number of males.
