14 of the people are children.
89 of the remainder are men.
There are 25 more men than children.
How many people are there?

1 x 3 |
3 x 3 |
|
Men |
Women |

8 |
1 |
3 u |
8 u |
1 u |
The number of adults is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of adults the same by using LCM of 3 and 9.
LCM of 3 and 9 = 9
Number of men = 8 u
Number of children = 3 u
Number of more men than children
= 8 u - 3 u
= 5 u
5 u = 25
1 u = 25 ÷ 5 = 5
Total number of people
= 3 u + 8 u + 1 u
= 12 u
= 12 x 5
= 60
Answer(s): 60
