A total of 310 children and adults went to a safari park. There were 34 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?

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 - 34
Total number of people
= 4 u + 4 u - 34
= 8 u - 34
8 u - 34 = 310
8 u = 310 + 34
8 u = 344
1 u = 344 ÷ 8 = 43
Number of women
= 3 u
= 3 x 43
= 129
Answer(s): 129
