Question

A college has a total of 107 teachers 23 more female teachers than male teachers

What proportion of the teachers are female? use n as the unknown

Answer 1

Female reachers = 65

Explanation:

Given that,

Total teachers in a college = 107

Let there are n male teachers.

Female reachers = n+23

ATQ,

n+n+23 = 107

2n = 107-23

2n = 84

n = 42

Female reachers = 42+23

= 65

Hence, there are 65 female teachers.
