A total of 237 children and adults went to a theme park. There were 43 more adults than children at the theme park. Given that the number of women was 4 times the number of men at the theme park, how many women were at the theme 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 - 43
Total number of people
= 5 u + 5 u - 43
= 10 u - 43
10 u - 43 = 237
10 u = 237 + 43
10 u = 280
1 u = 280 ÷ 10 = 28
Number of women
= 4 u
= 4 x 28
= 112
Answer(s): 112
