Hint
It doesn't actually matter how many men or women there were.
Answer
17,760 dollars.
If there were M men, then there were (3552 − M) women.
So one ninth of the men each received 45 dollars and one twelve of the women each received 60 dollars. So the total received was:
= 45 x 1 x M + 60 x 1 x (3552 − M)
— ——
9 12
Simplify the two fractions by dividing the 45 by 9, and the 60 by 12 respectively.
