if there are 12 more females and the ratio is two up in favour of females that means that 1 equals to 6, so there are 30 females and 18 males. (30 + 18 = 48)

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio of males to females at a party is 3 : 5.

Let the numbers of males and females be 3x and 5x respectively.

According to the given description:

No of females = No of males + 13

Therefore,

5x = 3x + 12

5x - 3x = 12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6

No of people at the party

= 3x + 5x

= 8x

= 8*6

= 48
