Given:

Number of males = h

Number of females = (h-2)

Total number of visitors = 80

To find:

The value of h.

Solution:

We have,

Number of males = h

Number of females = (h-2)

So, the total number of visitors is:


Total=h+(h-2)


Total=2h-2

It is given that the total number of visitors is 80. So,


2h-2=80


2h=80+2


2h=82

Divide both sides by 2.


h=(82)/(2)


h=41

Therefore, the correct option is D.
