Discussion
In a party, 60% of the invited guests are male and 40% are female. If 80% of the invited guests attended the party and if all the invited female guests attended, what would be the ratio of males to females among the attendees in the party?
Answer: B
The ratio of males to females among the attendees is 1:1.
Take 100 invited guests: 60 men and 40 women. 80 attended, and all 40 women were among them, so the other 40 attendees were men. That gives 40 men to 40 women, or 1:1.
3:2 is the ratio among those invited, not those who came. 2:3 and 2:1 do not match any count in the problem; the key step is that the women account for exactly half of the 80 who attended.
