There were 132 adults enrolled in the Emma Computer School in 2021.
311 of the adults were men. Additional adults joined the computer school in 2022. For every 3 men who joined the computer school, 2 women joined the computer school. If there was an equal number of women and men in 2022, how many women joined the school in that year?

+ 2 u |
After |
36 + 3 u |
96 + 2 u |
Fraction of adults who are women
= 1 -
311 =
811 Number of men at first
=
311 x 132
= 36
Number of women at first
=
811 x 132
= 96
Men who joined : Women who joined
3 : 2
The number of women and men in the end is the same.
36 + 3 u = 96 + 2 u
3 u - 2 u = 96 - 36
1 u = 60
Number of women who joined the school in that year
= 2 u
= 2 x 60
= 120
Answer(s): 120
