Men |
Women |
Before |
7 u |
3 u |
Change |
+ 64 |
+ 26 |
After |
7 u + 64 |
3 u + 26 |
If there are another 98 women in the end, the number of women and men will be the same.
7 u + 64 = 3 u + 26 + 98
7 u - 3 u = 124 - 64
4 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 4 = 15
Number of customers in the end
= 7 u + 64 + 3 u + 26
= 10 u + 90
= 10 x 15 + 90
= 150 + 90
= 240
Answer(s): 240
