(a)
25% =
25100 =
14Number of women
= 10% x 1 u
=
10100 x 1 u
= 0.1 u
Number of men
= 1 u - 0.1 u
= 0.9 u
Number of girls
= 90% x 3 u
=
90100 x 3 u
= 2.7 u
Number of boys
= 3 u - 2.7 u
= 0.3 u
Number of more girls than boys
= 2.7 u - 0.3 u
= 2.4 u
2.4 u = 288
1 u = 288 ÷ 2.4 = 120
Number of children
= 3 u
= 3 x 120
= 360
(b)
10% =
10100 =
110The total number of men and children in the end is repeated.
3.9 u = 9 p
Number of men and children
= 0.9 u + 3 u
= 3.9 u
= 3.9 x 120
= 468
9 p = 3.9 u
9 p = 468
1 p = 468 ÷ 9 = 52
Number of women in the end
= 1 p
= 52
Number of women at first
= 0.1 u
= 0.1 x 120
= 12
Number of women who joined before the event ended
= 52 - 12
= 40
Answers: (a) 360; (b) 40
