There were 121 adults enrolled in the Kylie Acting School in 2016.
311 of the adults were women. Additional adults joined the acting school in 2017. For every 3 women who joined the acting school, 2 men joined the acting school. If there was an equal number of men and women in 2017, how many men joined the school in that year?

+ 3 u |
+ 2 u |
After |
33 + 3 u |
88 + 2 u |
Fraction of adults who are men
= 1 -
311 =
811 Number of women at first
=
311 x 121
= 33
Number of men at first
=
811 x 121
= 88
Women who joined : Men who joined
3 : 2
The number of men and women in the end is the same.
33 + 3 u = 88 + 2 u
3 u - 2 u = 88 - 33
1 u = 55
Number of men who joined the school in that year
= 2 u
= 2 x 55
= 110
Answer(s): 110
