There were 242 adults enrolled in the Jen Computer School in 2020.
511 of the adults were men. Additional adults joined the computer school in 2021. For every 5 men who joined the computer school, 4 women joined the computer school. If there was an equal number of women and men in 2021, how many women joined the school in that year?

+ 5 u |
+ 4 u |
After |
110 + 5 u |
132 + 4 u |
Fraction of adults who are women
= 1 -
511 =
611 Number of men at first
=
511 x 242
= 110
Number of women at first
=
611 x 242
= 132
Men who joined : Women who joined
5 : 4
The number of women and men in the end is the same.
110 + 5 u = 132 + 4 u
5 u - 4 u = 132 - 110
1 u = 22
Number of women who joined the school in that year
= 4 u
= 4 x 22
= 88
Answer(s): 88
