The total number of children and men at first is repeated. Make the total number of children at first the same. LCM of 9 and 10 is 90.
50% =
50100 =
12 When some men left, the total number of women and children remains unchanged. Make the total number of women and children the same. LCM of 37 and 1 is 37.
The number of men was 416 more than the total number of women and children at first.
Number of more men than the total number of women and children at first
= 63 u - 37 u
= 26 u
26 u = 416
1 u = 416 ÷ 26 = 16
Number of men who left the park
= 63 u - 37 u
= 26 u
= 26 x 16
= 416
Answer(s): 416
