Hi  

7000 participants and the female participants are 25% less than the male (x) participants 

0r the number of females is .75  the number of males 

Letting x be the number of male participants

 7000 = x  + .75x

 7000/1.75  = x

   male participants = 4000 and female = 3000  

Find the difference between the number of male participants and the number of female participants:  

 4000 - 3000 = 1000 difference

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
