56 of the customers were men. Within five minutes, 61 more men and 38 more women entered the supermarkets. As a result, there were 95 more men than women. How many customers were there altogether in the end?

Men |
Women |
Before |
5 u |
1 u |
Change |
+ 61 |
+ 38 |
After |
5 u + 61 |
1 u + 38 |
If there are another 95 women in the end, the number of women and men will be the same.
5 u + 61 = 1 u + 38 + 95
5 u - 1 u = 133 - 61
4 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 4 = 18
Number of customers in the end
= 5 u + 61 + 1 u + 38
= 6 u + 99
= 6 x 18 + 99
= 108 + 99
= 207
Answer(s): 207
