there are 720 male and female participants in a meeting . half the female participants and one - quarterof the male participants are democrats . one - third of all the participants are democrats . how many of the democrats are female ?
"let m be the number of male participants and f be the number of female articipants in the meeting . thetotal number of participants is given as 720 . hence , we have m + f = 720 now , we have that half the female participants and one - quarter of the male participants are democrats . let d equal the number of the democrats . then we have the equation f / 2 + m / 4 = d now , we have that one - third of the total participants are democrats . hence , we have the equation d = 720 / 3 = 240 solving the three equations yields the solution f = 240 , m = 480 , and d = 240 . the number of female democratic participants equals half the female participants equals 240 / 2 = 120 . answer : c"
divide(subtract(multiply(divide(720, const_3), const_4), 720), const_2)
