What is the total number of executives at Company P?

(1) The number of male executives is $$\frac{3}{5}$$ the number of female executives --> m = 3/5*f. Not sufficient.

(2) There are $$4$$ more female executives than male executives --> m = f - 4. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) We have two distinct linear equations with two unknowns, thus we can solve for m and f and get the total number of executives (m+f). Sufficient.
