Answer:
<em>There were 204 ladies and 136 gentlemen in the conference</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set the variables:
L = number of ladies in the conference
G = number of gentlemen in the conference
We know 340 people participated in the conference, thus:
L + G = 340 [1]
We are also given the ratio of ladies and gentleman as 3:2, thus:
L/G = 3/2
Cross-multiplying:
2L = 3G [2]
From [1]:
L = 340 - G
Substituting in [2]:
2(340 - G) = 3G
Operating:
680 - 2G = 3G
5G = 680
G = 680/5 = 136
G = 136
L = 340 - 136 = 204
L = 204
There were 204 ladies and 136 gentlemen in the conference
