Men |
Women |
Before |
7 u |
1 u |
Change |
+ 70 |
+ 26 |
After |
7 u + 70 |
1 u + 26 |
If there are another 104 women in the end, the number of women and men will be the same.
7 u + 70 = 1 u + 26 + 104
7 u - 1 u = 130 - 70
6 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 6 = 10
Number of customers in the end
= 7 u + 70 + 1 u + 26
= 8 u + 96
= 8 x 10 + 96
= 80 + 96
= 176
Answer(s): 176
