There were 220 adults enrolled in the Diana Swimming School in 2021.
311 of the adults were men. Additional adults joined the swimming school in 2022. For every 3 men who joined the swimming school, 2 women joined the swimming school. If there was an equal number of women and men in 2022, how many women joined the school in that year?

Change |
+ 3 u |
+ 2 u |
After |
60 + 3 u |
160 + 2 u |
Fraction of adults who are women
= 1 -
311 =
811 Number of men at first
=
311 x 220
= 60
Number of women at first
=
811 x 220
= 160
Men who joined : Women who joined
3 : 2
The number of women and men in the end is the same.
60 + 3 u = 160 + 2 u
3 u - 2 u = 160 - 60
1 u = 100
Number of women who joined the school in that year
= 2 u
= 2 x 100
= 200
Answer(s): 200
