There were 110 adults enrolled in the Raeann Swimming School in 2015.
311 of the adults were men. Additional adults joined the swimming school in 2016. For every 3 men who joined the swimming school, 2 women joined the swimming school. If there was an equal number of women and men in 2016, how many women joined the school in that year?

+ 3 u |
+ 2 u |
After |
30 + 3 u |
80 + 2 u |
Fraction of adults who are women
= 1 -
311 =
811 Number of men at first
=
311 x 110
= 30
Number of women at first
=
811 x 110
= 80
Men who joined : Women who joined
3 : 2
The number of women and men in the end is the same.
30 + 3 u = 80 + 2 u
3 u - 2 u = 80 - 30
1 u = 50
Number of women who joined the school in that year
= 2 u
= 2 x 50
= 100
Answer(s): 100
