Question

the number of male spectators at a football match is720 more than the number of female spectators. The number females is 2/11 the number males. find the total number of spectators

Answer 1

The total number of spectators is 1040.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote the number of female spectators as 'F' and the number of male spectators as 'M'.

According to the given information, we have two equations:

M = F + 720

F = (2/11)M

Substituting the value of F from the second equation into the first equation, we get:

M = (2/11)M + 720

M - (2/11)M = 720

(9/11)M = 720

M = (11/9) * 720 = 880

Substituting the value of M into the second equation, we can find F:

F = (2/11) * 880 = 160

Therefore, the total number of spectators is the sum of M and F:

Total number of spectators = 880 + 160 = 1040
