There were 297 adults enrolled in the Mary Computer School in 2019.
511 of the adults were women. Additional adults joined the computer school in 2020. For every 5 women who joined the computer school, 4 men joined the computer school. If there was an equal number of men and women in 2020, how many men joined the school in that year?

135 + 5 u |
162 + 4 u |
Fraction of adults who are men
= 1 -
511 =
611 Number of women at first
=
511 x 297
= 135
Number of men at first
=
611 x 297
= 162
Women who joined : Men who joined
5 : 4
The number of men and women in the end is the same.
135 + 5 u = 162 + 4 u
5 u - 4 u = 162 - 135
1 u = 27
Number of men who joined the school in that year
= 4 u
= 4 x 27
= 108
Answer(s): 108
