There were 217 adults enrolled in the Abi Swimming School in 2016.
37 of the adults were women. Additional adults joined the swimming school in 2017. For every 3 women who joined the swimming school, 2 men joined the swimming school. If there was an equal number of men and women in 2017, how many men joined the school in that year?

Before |
93 |
124 |
Change |
+ 3 u |
+ 2 u |
After |
93 + 3 u |
124 + 2 u |
Fraction of adults who are men
= 1 -
37 =
47 Number of women at first
=
37 x 217
= 93
Number of men at first
=
47 x 217
= 124
Women who joined : Men who joined
3 : 2
The number of men and women in the end is the same.
93 + 3 u = 124 + 2 u
3 u - 2 u = 124 - 93
1 u = 31
Number of men who joined the school in that year
= 2 u
= 2 x 31
= 62
Answer(s): 62
