A total of 226 children and adults went to a theme park. There were 30 more adults than children at the theme park. Given that the number of women was 3 times the number of men at the theme park, how many women were at the theme park?

3 u |
1 u |

Number of men = 1 u
Number of women = 3 u
Number of adults = 1 u + 3 u = 4 u
Number of children = 4 u - 30
Total number of people
= 4 u + 4 u - 30
= 8 u - 30
8 u - 30 = 226
8 u = 226 + 30
8 u = 256
1 u = 256 ÷ 8 = 32
Number of women
= 3 u
= 3 x 32
= 96
Answer(s): 96
