A total of 213 children and adults went to a safari park. There were 27 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?
| Children |

| 4 u - 27 |

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 - 27
Total number of people
= 4 u + 4 u - 27
= 8 u - 27
8 u - 27 = 213
8 u = 213 + 27
8 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 8 = 30
Number of women
= 3 u
= 3 x 30
= 90
Answer(s): 90
