(a)
25% =
25100 =
14Number of women
= 40% x 1 u
=
40100 x 1 u
= 0.4 u
Number of men
= 1 u - 0.4 u
= 0.6 u
Number of girls
= 80% x 3 u
=
80100 x 3 u
= 2.4 u
Number of boys
= 3 u - 2.4 u
= 0.6 u
Number of more girls than boys
= 2.4 u - 0.6 u
= 1.8 u
1.8 u = 216
1 u = 216 ÷ 1.8 = 120
Number of children
= 3 u
= 3 x 120
= 360
(b)
25% =
25100 =
14The total number of men and children in the end is repeated.
3.6 u = 3 p
Number of men and children
= 0.6 u + 3 u
= 3.6 u
= 3.6 x 120
= 432
3 p = 3.6 u
3 p = 432
1 p = 432 ÷ 3 = 144
Number of women in the end
= 1 p
= 144
Number of women at first
= 0.4 u
= 0.4 x 120
= 48
Number of women who joined before the event ended
= 144 - 48
= 96
Answers: (a) 360; (b) 96
