The number of women in a theme park was
1116 that of the men. There were 300 more men than women. After some women left the theme park, the number of men in the theme park was five times the number of the remaining women. How many women left the theme park?

Change |
- ? |

After |
1x4 = 4 u |
4x4 = 16 u |
The number of men remain unchanged. Make the number of men the same. LCM of 16 and 4 is 16.
Number of more men than women
= 16 u - 11 u
= 5 u
5 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 5 = 60
Number of women who left the theme park
= 11 u - 4 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 60
= 420
Answer(s): 420
