A certain college party is attended by both male and female students. The ratio of male to female students is 3 to 5. If 6 of the male students were to leave the party, the ratio would change to 1 to 2. How many total students are at the party? Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 64	B) 72	C) 80	D) 88	E) 96
