There were 165 adults enrolled in the Irene Cooking School in 2017.
411 of the adults were men. Additional adults joined the cooking school in 2018. For every 4 men who joined the cooking school, 3 women joined the cooking school. If there was an equal number of women and men in 2018, how many women joined the school in that year?

+ 4 u |
+ 3 u |
After |
60 + 4 u |
105 + 3 u |
Fraction of adults who are women
= 1 -
411 =
711 Number of men at first
=
411 x 165
= 60
Number of women at first
=
711 x 165
= 105
Men who joined : Women who joined
4 : 3
The number of women and men in the end is the same.
60 + 4 u = 105 + 3 u
4 u - 3 u = 105 - 60
1 u = 45
Number of women who joined the school in that year
= 3 u
= 3 x 45
= 135
Answer(s): 135
