Question 93241
In 1980 the ratio of male students to female students at Frost College was 2 males to 3 females.
Let # of male students be 2x; then # of female students was 3x
Total # of students in 1980 was 5x
-------------------------------- 
Since then, the enrollment of male studnets in the college has increased by 400 and the enrollment of female students has remained the same.
# of male is now 2x+400 ; # of female now is still 3x
Total number of students now is 5x+400
-------------------------
The ratio of ales to females is currently 1 to 1.
EQUATION:
(2x+400)/3x = 1/1
2x+400 = 3x 
x = 400
------------------------------ 
How many students are currently enrolled at Frost College?
5x+400 = 5*400 + 500 = 2400 (this is current enrollment)
