The total number of children and women at first is repeated. Make the total number of children at first the same. LCM of 8 and 10 is 40.
75% =
75100 =
34 When some women entered, the total number of men and children remains unchanged. Make the total number of men and children the same. LCM of 17 and 1 is 17.
The total number of men and children is 198 less than the number of women.
Number of less men and children than the number of women at first
= 28 u - 17 u
= 11 u
11 u = 198
1 u = 198 ÷ 11 = 18
Number of women who entered the theme park
= 51 u - 28 u
= 23 u
= 23 x 18
= 414
Answer(s): 414
