There were 231 adults enrolled in the Jean Computer School in 2016.
37 of the adults were men. Additional adults joined the computer school in 2017. 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 2017, how many women joined the school in that year?

Before |
99 |
132 |
Change |
+ 3 u |
+ 2 u |
After |
99 + 3 u |
132 + 2 u |
Fraction of adults who are women
= 1 -
37 =
47 Number of men at first
=
37 x 231
= 99
Number of women at first
=
47 x 231
= 132
Men who joined : Women who joined
3 : 2
The number of women and men in the end is the same.
99 + 3 u = 132 + 2 u
3 u - 2 u = 132 - 99
1 u = 33
Number of women who joined the school in that year
= 2 u
= 2 x 33
= 66
Answer(s): 66
