There were 198 children enrolled in the Anna Cooking School in 2017.
411 of the children were boys. Additional children joined the cooking school in 2018. For every 4 boys who joined the cooking school, 3 girls joined the cooking school. If there was an equal number of girls and boys in 2018, how many girls joined the school in that year?

126 |
Change |
+ 4 u |
+ 3 u |
After |
72 + 4 u |
126 + 3 u |
Fraction of children who are girls
= 1 -
411 =
711 Number of boys at first
=
411 x 198
= 72
Number of girls at first
=
711 x 198
= 126
Boys who joined : Girls who joined
4 : 3
The number of girls and boys in the end is the same.
72 + 4 u = 126 + 3 u
4 u - 3 u = 126 - 72
1 u = 54
Number of girls who joined the school in that year
= 3 u
= 3 x 54
= 162
Answer(s): 162
