There were 253 adults enrolled in the Ivory Computer School in 2022.
311 of the adults were men. Additional adults joined the computer school in 2023. For every 3 men who joined the computer school, 2 women joined the computer school. If there was an equal number of women and men in 2023, how many women joined the school in that year?

+ 3 u |
+ 2 u |
After |
69 + 3 u |
184 + 2 u |
Fraction of adults who are women
= 1 -
311 =
811 Number of men at first
=
311 x 253
= 69
Number of women at first
=
811 x 253
= 184
Men who joined : Women who joined
3 : 2
The number of women and men in the end is the same.
69 + 3 u = 184 + 2 u
3 u - 2 u = 184 - 69
1 u = 115
Number of women who joined the school in that year
= 2 u
= 2 x 115
= 230
Answer(s): 230
