A total of 252 children and adults went to a bird park. There were 48 more adults than children at the bird park. Given that the number of women was 4 times the number of men at the bird park, how many women were at the bird park?
| Children |

| 5 u - 48 |

4 u |
1 u |

Number of men = 1 u
Number of women = 4 u
Number of adults = 1 u + 4 u = 5 u
Number of children = 5 u - 48
Total number of people
= 5 u + 5 u - 48
= 10 u - 48
10 u - 48 = 252
10 u = 252 + 48
10 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 10 = 30
Number of women
= 4 u
= 4 x 30
= 120
Answer(s): 120
