How many males and how many females would there be if the total enrollment is 15000?

Ratio is 

  90 males      15000 - x
  ------------- = ---------------
   125 fem              x

Then 90x = 1875000 - 125x, or 215x = 1875000

                                                      x = approx 8720 females
                       and 15000-8720, or 6279 males

If every male finds a dance partner, that would leave (8720-6279) females, or 2440, without dance partners.  ;(

Check:  is the male:female ratio near 90:125?

Is 6279:8720 approx equal to 90:125?

Yes.  0.72 (approx) = 0.72 (approx).

Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; in terms of energy, each whole number increase corresponds to an increase of about 31.6 times the amount of energy released, and each increase of 0.2 corresponds to approximately a doubling of the energy released.
