There were 264 adults enrolled in the Kylie Swimming School in 2017.
411 of the adults were men. Additional adults joined the swimming school in 2018. For every 4 men who joined the swimming school, 3 women joined the swimming school. If there was an equal number of women and men in 2018, how many women joined the school in that year?

+ 4 u |
+ 3 u |
After |
96 + 4 u |
168 + 3 u |
Fraction of adults who are women
= 1 -
411 =
711 Number of men at first
=
411 x 264
= 96
Number of women at first
=
711 x 264
= 168
Men who joined : Women who joined
4 : 3
The number of women and men in the end is the same.
96 + 4 u = 168 + 3 u
4 u - 3 u = 168 - 96
1 u = 72
Number of women who joined the school in that year
= 3 u
= 3 x 72
= 216
Answer(s): 216
