There were 209 adults enrolled in the Lynn Dancing School in 2021.
411 of the adults were women. Additional adults joined the dancing school in 2022. For every 4 women who joined the dancing school, 3 men joined the dancing school. If there was an equal number of men and women in 2022, how many men joined the school in that year?

+ 4 u |
+ 3 u |
After |
76 + 4 u |
133 + 3 u |
Fraction of adults who are men
= 1 -
411 =
711 Number of women at first
=
411 x 209
= 76
Number of men at first
=
711 x 209
= 133
Women who joined : Men who joined
4 : 3
The number of men and women in the end is the same.
76 + 4 u = 133 + 3 u
4 u - 3 u = 133 - 76
1 u = 57
Number of men who joined the school in that year
= 3 u
= 3 x 57
= 171
Answer(s): 171
