The number of women in a laser tag park was
1315 that of the men. There were 160 more men than women. After some women left the laser tag park, the number of men in the laser tag park was five times the number of the remaining women. How many women left the laser tag park?

The number of men remain unchanged. Make the number of men the same. LCM of 15 and 5 is 15.
Number of more men than women
= 15 u - 13 u
= 2 u
2 u = 160
1 u = 160 ÷ 2 = 80
Number of women who left the laser tag park
= 13 u - 3 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 80
= 800
Answer(s): 800
