A total of 222 children and adults went to a theme park. There were 26 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 - 26
Total number of people
= 4 u + 4 u - 26
= 8 u - 26
8 u - 26 = 222
8 u = 222 + 26
8 u = 248
1 u = 248 ÷ 8 = 31
Number of men
= 3 u
= 3 x 31
= 93
Answer(s): 93
