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

Nezavi [6.7K]

- Make an equation representing the number of vehicles needed.

We have six drivers so

x + y ≤ 6

That's not really an equation; it's an inequality.  We want to use all our drivers so we can use the small vans, so

x + y = 6

- Make an equation representing the total number of seats in vehicles for the orchestra members.

s = 25x + 12y

That's how many seats total; it has to be at least 111 so again an inequality,

25x + 12y ≥ 111

We solve it like a system of equations.  

x + y = 6

y = 6 - x

111 = 25x + 12y = 25x + 12(6-x)

111 = 25x + 72 - 12x

111 - 72 = 13 x

39 = 13 x

x = 3

Look at that,  it worked out exactly.  It didn't have to.

y = 6 - x = 3

Answer: 3 buses, 3 vans
