At the trampoline park, there were 60% as many women as men and 30% more children than women. Given that there were 36 more children than women at the trampoline park, how many adults were there altogether?

39 u |
60% =
60100 =
35Women : Men = 3 : 5
100% + 30% = 130%
130% =
130100 =
1310 Women : Children = 10 : 13
The number of women is repeated. Make the number of women the same. LCM of 3 and 10 is 30.
Number of more children than women
= 39 u - 30 u
= 9 u
9 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 9 = 4
Number of adults
= 30 u + 50 u
= 80 u
= 80 x 4
= 320
Answer(s): 320
