Women |
Men |
Before |
5 u |
3 u |
Change |
+ 66 |
+ 22 |
After |
5 u + 66 |
3 u + 22 |
If there are another 110 men in the end, the number of men and women will be the same.
5 u + 66 = 3 u + 22 + 110
5 u - 3 u = 132 - 66
2 u = 66
1 u = 66 ÷ 2 = 33
Number of customers in the end
= 5 u + 66 + 3 u + 22
= 8 u + 88
= 8 x 33 + 88
= 264 + 88
= 352
Answer(s): 352
