During the orientation for the new students, 289 students were present. Of these, 109 were not first year students. If 2/3 of the first year students were female, how many male first year students were there?

First, to get the number of first year students, subtract 109 from 289.
Then, since 2/3 of which are female, and what we want is the population of the male, then we get 1/3 of the number of first year students.


=(289 - 109)/3
=180/3 = 60

60 students

Hope this helps :)
