Question

A math class has a total of 36 students. The number of males is 6 more than the number of females. How many males and how many females are in the class?

Answer 1

There are 21 boys and 15 girls

Explanation:

There is a total of 36 students.

There are six more boys than girls so let's say that the total for girls is g.

The easiest way to solve this equation is to divide the total by two.

36/2 equals 18 so the answer has to be around that range.

Once you start plugging in numbers from that range you will eventually reach twenty-one boys and fifteen girls.

And to check your answer, you can add 21 and 15 which will give you your total of 36 and 21 is 6 more than the total of girls.
