Emily’s weekly allowance would be $7.
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. ;(
