In a supermarkets,
57 of the customers were women. Within five minutes, 54 more women and 26 more men entered the supermarkets. As a result, there were 106 more women than men. How many customers were there altogether in the end?

Women |
Men |
Before |
5 u |
2 u |
Change |
+ 54 |
+ 26 |
After |
5 u + 54 |
2 u + 26 |
If there are another 106 men in the end, the number of men and women will be the same.
5 u + 54 = 2 u + 26 + 106
5 u - 2 u = 132 - 54
3 u = 78
1 u = 78 ÷ 3 = 26
Number of customers in the end
= 5 u + 54 + 2 u + 26
= 7 u + 80
= 7 x 26 + 80
= 182 + 80
= 262
Answer(s): 262
