There were 143 adults enrolled in the Lucy Dancing School in 2016.
411 of the adults were women. Additional adults joined the dancing school in 2017. 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 2017, how many men joined the school in that year?

+ 4 u |
+ 3 u |
After |
52 + 4 u |
91 + 3 u |
Fraction of adults who are men
= 1 -
411 =
711 Number of women at first
=
411 x 143
= 52
Number of men at first
=
711 x 143
= 91
Women who joined : Men who joined
4 : 3
The number of men and women in the end is the same.
52 + 4 u = 91 + 3 u
4 u - 3 u = 91 - 52
1 u = 39
Number of men who joined the school in that year
= 3 u
= 3 x 39
= 117
Answer(s): 117
