Change |
+ 53 |
+ 25 |
After |
6 u + 53 |
1 u + 25 |
If there are another 93 men in the end, the number of men and women will be the same.
6 u + 53 = 1 u + 25 + 93
6 u - 1 u = 118 - 53
5 u = 65
1 u = 65 ÷ 5 = 13
Number of customers in the end
= 6 u + 53 + 1 u + 25
= 7 u + 78
= 7 x 13 + 78
= 91 + 78
= 169
Answer(s): 169
