Problem: at a particular graduation party with 300 guests , 70 % of the guests brought gifts , and 40 % of the female guests brought gifts . if 36 males did not bring gifts to the party , how many females did bring gifts ?
Rationale: "the correct method total = 300 . . 70 % of 300 = 210 got gifts . . 90 did not get gift , out of which 48 are males , so remaining 90 - 36 = 54 are females . . but 40 % females brought gift , so 60 % did not get it . . so 60 % = 54 , 100 % = 54 * 100 / 60 = 90 . . ans 40 % of 90 = 36 b"
annotated_formula: divide(multiply(divide(multiply(subtract(subtract(300, divide(multiply(70, 300), const_100)), 36), const_100), subtract(const_100, 40)), 40), const_100)
