14 of the people are children.
47 of the remainder are women.
There are 25 more women than children.
How many people are there?
Children |
Adults |
1 x 7 |
3 x 7 |
|
Women |
Men |
|
4 x 3 |
3 x 3 |
7 u |
12 u |
9 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 women = 12 u
Number of children = 7 u
Number of more women than children
= 12 u - 7 u
= 5 u
5 u = 25
1 u = 25 ÷ 5 = 5
Total number of people
= 7 u + 12 u + 9 u
= 28 u
= 28 x 5
= 140
Answer(s): 140
