There were 253 adults enrolled in the Cathy Computer School in 2016.
411 of the adults were men. Additional adults joined the computer school in 2017. For every 4 men who joined the computer school, 3 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?

+ 4 u |
+ 3 u |
After |
92 + 4 u |
161 + 3 u |
Fraction of adults who are women
= 1 -
411 =
711 Number of men at first
=
411 x 253
= 92
Number of women at first
=
711 x 253
= 161
Men who joined : Women who joined
4 : 3
The number of women and men in the end is the same.
92 + 4 u = 161 + 3 u
4 u - 3 u = 161 - 92
1 u = 69
Number of women who joined the school in that year
= 3 u
= 3 x 69
= 207
Answer(s): 207
