There were 245 adults enrolled in the Kathy Cooking School in 2020.
37 of the adults were men. Additional adults joined the cooking school in 2021. For every 3 men who joined the cooking school, 2 women joined the cooking school. If there was an equal number of women and men in 2021, how many women joined the school in that year?

140 |
Change |
+ 3 u |
+ 2 u |
After |
105 + 3 u |
140 + 2 u |
Fraction of adults who are women
= 1 -
37 =
47 Number of men at first
=
37 x 245
= 105
Number of women at first
=
47 x 245
= 140
Men who joined : Women who joined
3 : 2
The number of women and men in the end is the same.
105 + 3 u = 140 + 2 u
3 u - 2 u = 140 - 105
1 u = 35
Number of women who joined the school in that year
= 2 u
= 2 x 35
= 70
Answer(s): 70
