Answer:
800 dolls
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
we are told that the ratio of the number of male dolls to the number of female dolls is 3:5 , i.e male dolls to female dolls is 3 to 5
given that there are 500 female dolls, let the number of male dolls be x
Step two:
3/5= x/500
cross multiply we have
3*500=5x
1500=5x
divide both sides by 5
x=1500/5
x=300
hence there are 300 male dolls
The total dolls is 300+500= 800 dolls
