A total of 380 children and adults went to a safari park. There were 20 more adults than children at the safari park. Given that the number of women was 3 times the number of men at the safari park, how many women were at the safari park?

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 - 20
Total number of people
= 4 u + 4 u - 20
= 8 u - 20
8 u - 20 = 380
8 u = 380 + 20
8 u = 400
1 u = 400 ÷ 8 = 50
Number of women
= 3 u
= 3 x 50
= 150
Answer(s): 150
