13 of the people are children.
56 of the remainder are men.
There are 22 more men than children.
How many people are there?
Children |
Adults |
1 x 3 |
2 x 3 |
|
Men |
Women |
|
5 |
1 |
3 u |
5 u |
1 u |
The number of adults is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of adults the same by using LCM of 2 and 6.
LCM of 2 and 6 = 6
Number of men = 5 u
Number of children = 3 u
Number of more men than children
= 5 u - 3 u
= 2 u
2 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 2 = 11
Total number of people
= 3 u + 5 u + 1 u
= 9 u
= 9 x 11
= 99
Answer(s): 99
