Question

At a charity fundraiser, each female attendant donated $1,200 and each male attendant donated $800. If the average donation at the fundraiser was $900, what was the ratio of the number of female attendants to the number of male attendants.

Answer 1

The ratio of the number of female attendants to the number of male attendants is 21/17

Ratio

• Amount donated by female attendant = $1200
• Amount donated by male attendant = $800
• Average donation = $900

let

• number of female attendant = x
• number of male attendant = y

900 = 1200x + 800y / (x + y)

900x + 900y = 1200x + 800y

900x + 1200x = 800y + 900y

2100x = 1700y

x : y = 2100 / 1700

x : y = 21 ; 17
