In a shopping malls,
58 of the customers were women. Within five minutes, 64 more women and 40 more men entered the shopping malls. As a result, there were 106 more women than men. How many customers were there altogether in the end?
|
Women |
Men |
Before |
5 u |
3 u |
Change |
+ 64 |
+ 40 |
After |
5 u + 64 |
3 u + 40 |
If there are another 106 men in the end, the number of men and women will be the same.
5 u + 64 = 3 u + 40 + 106
5 u - 3 u = 146 - 64
2 u = 82
1 u = 82 ÷ 2 = 41
Number of customers in the end
= 5 u + 64 + 3 u + 40
= 8 u + 104
= 8 x 41 + 104
= 328 + 104
= 432
Answer(s): 432
