In a supermarkets,
58 of the customers were men. Within five minutes, 57 more men and 34 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 |
3 u |
Change |
+ 57 |
+ 34 |
After |
5 u + 57 |
3 u + 34 |
If there are another 95 women in the end, the number of women and men will be the same.
5 u + 57 = 3 u + 34 + 95
5 u - 3 u = 129 - 57
2 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 2 = 36
Number of customers in the end
= 5 u + 57 + 3 u + 34
= 8 u + 91
= 8 x 36 + 91
= 288 + 91
= 379
Answer(s): 379
