The number of women in a trampoline park was
1720 that of the men. There were 150 more men than women. After some women left the trampoline park, the number of men in the trampoline park was five times the number of the remaining women. How many women left the trampoline park?

1x4 =
4 u |
5x4 =
20 u |
The number of men remain unchanged. Make the number of men the same. LCM of 20 and 5 is 20.
Number of more men than women
= 20 u - 17 u
= 3 u
3 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 3 = 50
Number of women who left the trampoline park
= 17 u - 4 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 50
= 650
Answer(s): 650
