A total of 292 children and adults went to a concert hall. There were 44 more adults than children at the concert hall. Given that the number of women was 3 times the number of men at the concert hall, how many women were at the concert hall?
| Children |

| 4 u - 44 |

Women |
Men |

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 - 44
Total number of people
= 4 u + 4 u - 44
= 8 u - 44
8 u - 44 = 292
8 u = 292 + 44
8 u = 336
1 u = 336 ÷ 8 = 42
Number of women
= 3 u
= 3 x 42
= 126
Answer(s): 126
