6 u |
1 u |
Change |
+ 55 |
+ 24 |
After |
6 u + 55 |
1 u + 24 |
If there are another 101 men in the end, the number of men and women will be the same.
6 u + 55 = 1 u + 24 + 101
6 u - 1 u = 125 - 55
5 u = 70
1 u = 70 ÷ 5 = 14
Number of customers in the end
= 6 u + 55 + 1 u + 24
= 7 u + 79
= 7 x 14 + 79
= 98 + 79
= 177
Answer(s): 177
