14 of the people are children.
67 of the remainder are men.
There are 22 more men than children.
How many people are there?
Children |
Adults |
1 x 7 |
3 x 7 |
|
Men |
Women |
|
6 x 3 |
1 x 3 |
7 u |
18 u |
3 u |
The number of adults is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of adults the same by using LCM of 3 and 7.
LCM of 3 and 7 = 21
Number of men = 18 u
Number of children = 7 u
Number of more men than children
= 18 u - 7 u
= 11 u
11 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 11 = 2
Total number of people
= 7 u + 18 u + 3 u
= 28 u
= 28 x 2
= 56
Answer(s): 56
