19 of the people are children.
1516 of the remainder are women.
There are 13 more women than children.
How many people are there?
Children |
Adults |
1 x 2 |
8 x 2 |
|
Women |
Men |
|
15 |
1 |
2 u |
15 u |
1 u |
The number of adults is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of adults the same by using LCM of 8 and 16.
LCM of 8 and 16 = 16
Number of women = 15 u
Number of children = 2 u
Number of more women than children
= 15 u - 2 u
= 13 u
13 u = 13
1 u = 13 ÷ 13 = 1
Total number of people
= 2 u + 15 u + 1 u
= 18 u
= 18 x 1
= 18
Answer(s): 18
