A national education conference has 4500 female attendees and 3000 male attendees.

Of the 4500 female attendees, 2/5 are elementary educators.
Of the 3000 male attendees, 2/5 are elementary educators.
3/4 of the elementary educators have attended the conference before.
How many elementary educators have attended the conference before?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

2250 elementary educators have attended the conference before.

Explanation:

First figure out the number of female and male elementary educators there are.

Female elementary educators:

2/5=.4

.4x4500=1800

Male elementary educators:

2/5=.4

.4x3000=1200

Now add the total amount of elementary educators together.

1800+1200=3000

Now that you have your total amount of educators, figure out what 3/4 of the educators have attended before.

3/4=.75

.75x3000=2250

2250 is your answer.
