A total of 287 children and adults went to a theme park. There were 33 more adults than children at the theme park. Given that the number of men was 3 times the number of women at the theme park, how many men were at the theme park?

Number of women = 1 u
Number of men = 3 u
Number of adults = 1 u + 3 u = 4 u
Number of children = 4 u - 33
Total number of people
= 4 u + 4 u - 33
= 8 u - 33
8 u - 33 = 287
8 u = 287 + 33
8 u = 320
1 u = 320 ÷ 8 = 40
Number of men
= 3 u
= 3 x 40
= 120
Answer(s): 120
