There were 297 children enrolled in the Yen Dancing School in 2016.
411 of the children were boys. Additional children joined the dancing school in 2017. For every 4 boys who joined the dancing school, 3 girls joined the dancing school. If there was an equal number of girls and boys in 2017, how many girls joined the school in that year?

+ 4 u |
+ 3 u |
After |
108 + 4 u |
189 + 3 u |
Fraction of children who are girls
= 1 -
411 =
711 Number of boys at first
=
411 x 297
= 108
Number of girls at first
=
711 x 297
= 189
Boys who joined : Girls who joined
4 : 3
The number of girls and boys in the end is the same.
108 + 4 u = 189 + 3 u
4 u - 3 u = 189 - 108
1 u = 81
Number of girls who joined the school in that year
= 3 u
= 3 x 81
= 243
Answer(s): 243
