Let the total Number of students be T
\n" ); document.write( "Let the female students be F
\n" ); document.write( "Let the male students be M\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So First equation is T = M+F
\n" ); document.write( "But given THereare 72 more females then male so F = M+72
\n" ); document.write( "And also given 60% of the total are Females So F = 60% of T
\n" ); document.write( "therefore \"%2860%29%2F%28100%29%2A%28T%29\" = M + 72
\n" ); document.write( "which gives us T = \"%285%29%2F%283%29%2A%28M+%2B+72%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But T = M + F
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%29%2F%283%29%2A%28M+%2B+72%29\" = M + M + 72
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%29%2F%283%29%2A%28M+%2B+72%29\"= 2M +72\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(5)*(M + 72) = 3* (2M +72)
\n" ); document.write( "5M + 360 = 6M + 216
\n" ); document.write( "6M-5M = 360 - 216
\n" ); document.write( "M = 144
\n" ); document.write( "F = M + 72 = 144 + 72 = 216
\n" ); document.write( "T = M + F = 144 + 216 = 360\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Total number of students are 360
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
