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