Answer:
The number of males = 22 and number of females = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of students = 36
Let us consider number of males is 'x' and number of females is ' y'
Therefore x = y + 8
So, y +8 + y = 36
2 y +8 = 36
∴ 2 y = 36 - 8
2 y = 28
∴ y = [tex]\frac{28}{2}[/tex]
y = 14
so x = 14 + 8
= 22
x = 22 and y = 14
so the number of males = 22 and number of females = 14
