Question 1115900: 1. During the 2017 student�s orientation at Namibia Business School, it was reported that number of male students who attended the orientation was one thousand eight hundred and eighty less than eight times the number of female students.
1.1 From the statement above, formulate a mathematical equation expressing the number of male students in terms of female students, given that (f) represent the number of female students and (m) represent the number of male students.
1.2 Given that the total number of students who were attending this orientation was forty one thousand one hundred and thirty one, use the equation you formulated in 1.1 to determine the number of male students who attended the orientation.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.1: m = 8f - 1880
1.2: m + f = 41131
(8f - 1880) + f = 41131
9f = 43011
f = 4779 female students attended
m = 8(4779) - 1880 = 36,352 male students attended
