58 of the customers were women. Within five minutes, 66 more women and 33 more men entered the supermarkets. As a result, there were 97 more women than men. How many customers were there altogether in the end?

Women |
Men |
Before |
5 u |
3 u |
Change |
+ 66 |
+ 33 |
After |
5 u + 66 |
3 u + 33 |
If there are another 97 men in the end, the number of men and women will be the same.
5 u + 66 = 3 u + 33 + 97
5 u - 3 u = 130 - 66
2 u = 64
1 u = 64 ÷ 2 = 32
Number of customers in the end
= 5 u + 66 + 3 u + 33
= 8 u + 99
= 8 x 32 + 99
= 256 + 99
= 355
Answer(s): 355
