In a supermarkets,
58 of the customers were women. Within five minutes, 61 more women and 35 more men entered the supermarkets. As a result, there were 100 more women than men. How many customers were there altogether in the end?

Women |
Men |
Before |
5 u |
3 u |
Change |
+ 61 |
+ 35 |
After |
5 u + 61 |
3 u + 35 |
If there are another 100 men in the end, the number of men and women will be the same.
5 u + 61 = 3 u + 35 + 100
5 u - 3 u = 135 - 61
2 u = 74
1 u = 74 ÷ 2 = 37
Number of customers in the end
= 5 u + 61 + 3 u + 35
= 8 u + 96
= 8 x 37 + 96
= 296 + 96
= 392
Answer(s): 392
