At the theme park, there were 40% as many women as men and 40% more children than women. Given that there were 36 more children than women at the theme park, how many adults were there altogether?
| Women |
Men |
Children |
| 2x5 |
5x5 |
|
| 5x2 |
|
7x2 |
| 10 u |
25 u |
14 u |
40% =
40100 =
25Women : Men = 2 : 5
100% + 40% = 140%
140% =
140100 =
75 Women : Children = 5 : 7
The number of women is repeated. Make the number of women the same. LCM of 2 and 5 is 10.
Number of more children than women
= 14 u - 10 u
= 4 u
4 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 4 = 9
Number of adults
= 10 u + 25 u
= 35 u
= 35 x 9
= 315
Answer(s): 315
