Q : According to NCAA data, 52% of all student athletes graduate. 55% of female students and 48% of male student athletes graduate. what is the ratio of the number of male student athletes and the number of female student athletes? Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! lets call the % of males athletes M and the % of Females athletes F. Lets call the total number who graduate G
:
total of all student graduates is 52%(M+F). so G=.52(M+F)
:
G is also equal to 48% Male athletes plus 55% Female athletes.......so seeing these equal to each other
:
.52(M+F)=.48M+.55F
:
.52M+.52F=.48M+.55M
:
.04M=.03F
:
.04M/F=.03
: meaning there are 3 male athletes for every 4 Female athletes
