The ratio of men to women at a banquet is 6:5. If ten men leave the pa

Hi shasadou,

We're told that ratio of Men to Women at a party is 6:5. This means several things...

1) The number of Men is a multiple of 6
2) The number of Women is the equivalent multiple of 5
3) The TOTAL number of people is a multiple of 11

The question tells us that 10 men leave the party. It asks what the total COULD be under these circumstances. The word 'could' is important here; it implies that there are multiple correct answers, but only one of the 5 answer choices is actually correct.

Based on all of the above information, we're looking for an answer that is 10 LESS than a multiple of 11. There's only one answer that fits...

Final Answer:
