The total number of children and women at first is repeated. Make the total number of children at first the same. LCM of 9 and 4 is 36.

35 When some women left, the total number of men and children remains unchanged. Make the total number of men and children the same. LCM of 13 and 2 is 26.
The number of women was 364 more than the total number of men and children at first.
Number of more women than the total number of men and children at first
= 54 u - 26 u
= 28 u
28 u = 364
1 u = 364 ÷ 28 = 13
Number of women who left the theme park
= 54 u - 39 u
= 15 u
= 15 x 13
= 195
Answer(s): 195
