Women |
Men |
Before |
5 u |
1 u |
Change |
+ 52 |
+ 37 |
After |
5 u + 52 |
1 u + 37 |
If there are another 107 men in the end, the number of men and women will be the same.
5 u + 52 = 1 u + 37 + 107
5 u - 1 u = 144 - 52
4 u = 92
1 u = 92 ÷ 4 = 23
Number of customers in the end
= 5 u + 52 + 1 u + 37
= 6 u + 89
= 6 x 23 + 89
= 138 + 89
= 227
Answer(s): 227
