At the funfair, there were 60% as many women as men and 10% more children than women. Given that there were 27 less women than children at the funfair, how many adults were there altogether?
| Women |
Men |
Children |
| 3x10 |
5x10 |

| 10x3 |
|
11x3 |
| 30 u |
50 u |
33 u |
60% =
60100 =
35Women : Men = 3 : 5
100% + 10% = 110%
110% =
110100 =
1110 Women : Children = 10 : 11
The number of women is repeated. Make the number of women the same. LCM of 3 and 10 is 30.
Number of less women than children
= 33 u - 30 u
= 3 u
3 u = 27
1 u = 27 ÷ 3 = 9
Number of adults
= 30 u + 50 u
= 80 u
= 80 x 9
= 720
Answer(s): 720
