Women |
Men |
Before |
7 u |
1 u |
Change |
+ 53 |
+ 25 |
After |
7 u + 53 |
1 u + 25 |
If there are another 106 men in the end, the number of men and women will be the same.
7 u + 53 = 1 u + 25 + 106
7 u - 1 u = 131 - 53
6 u = 78
1 u = 78 ÷ 6 = 13
Number of customers in the end
= 7 u + 53 + 1 u + 25
= 8 u + 78
= 8 x 13 + 78
= 104 + 78
= 182
Answer(s): 182
