Women |
Men |
Before |
7 u |
1 u |
Change |
+ 61 |
+ 37 |
After |
7 u + 61 |
1 u + 37 |
If there are another 96 men in the end, the number of men and women will be the same.
7 u + 61 = 1 u + 37 + 96
7 u - 1 u = 133 - 61
6 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 6 = 12
Number of customers in the end
= 7 u + 61 + 1 u + 37
= 8 u + 98
= 8 x 12 + 98
= 96 + 98
= 194
Answer(s): 194
