A total of 348 children and adults went to a safari park. There were 42 more adults than children at the safari park. Given that the number of women was 4 times the number of men at the safari park, how many women were at the safari park?

Number of men = 1 u
Number of women = 4 u
Number of adults = 1 u + 4 u = 5 u
Number of children = 5 u - 42
Total number of people
= 5 u + 5 u - 42
= 10 u - 42
10 u - 42 = 348
10 u = 348 + 42
10 u = 390
1 u = 390 ÷ 10 = 39
Number of women
= 4 u
= 4 x 39
= 156
Answer(s): 156
