Men |
Women |
Before |
3 u |
1 u |
Change |
+ 59 |
+ 27 |
After |
3 u + 59 |
1 u + 27 |
If there are another 94 women in the end, the number of women and men will be the same.
3 u + 59 = 1 u + 27 + 94
3 u - 1 u = 121 - 59
2 u = 62
1 u = 62 ÷ 2 = 31
Number of customers in the end
= 3 u + 59 + 1 u + 27
= 4 u + 86
= 4 x 31 + 86
= 124 + 86
= 210
Answer(s): 210
