In a mixed company of Poles, Italians, Greeks, Turks and Germans.... How many Germans are there?

Question

In a mixed company of Poles, Italians, Greeks, Turks and Germans. The Poles are one less than 1/3 of the Germans; and 3 less than half the Italians; the Germans and Turks outnumber the Greeks and Italians by 3; the Greeks and the Germans form one less than half the company and the Greeks and the Italians form 7/16 of the company. How many Germans are there?

I have come up with the following equations but I'm not sure how to proceed.

P = (Gm / 3) - 1
P = (I / 2) -3
Gm + T = Gk + I + 3
Gk + Gm = (Total / 2) -1
Gk + I = (7/16) Total
P + I + Gk + T + Gm = Total

Answer 1

In Wolfram language, you can solve the equations like this:
In[1]:=Solve[{P == (Gm / 3) - 1,P == (It / 2) -3,Gm + T == Gk + It + 3,Gk + Gm == (Total / 2) -1,Gk + It == (7/16) Total,P + It + Gk + T + Gm == Total },{P,It,Gk,T,Gm, Total}]

And here is the output:
Out[1]={{P->7,It->20,Gk->15,T->14,Gm->24,Total->80}}

Which means the company contains 7 Poles, 20 Italians, 15 Greeks, 14 Turks and 24 Germans. There are 80 people in the company.

('I' represents the imaginary unit in Wolfram language, so we should use 'It' for Italians in the equation. )
