(a)
20% =
20100 =
15Number of women
= 20% x 1 u
=
20100 x 1 u
= 0.2 u
Number of men
= 1 u - 0.2 u
= 0.8 u
Number of girls
= 70% x 4 u
=
70100 x 4 u
= 2.8 u
Number of boys
= 4 u - 2.8 u
= 1.2 u
Number of more girls than boys
= 2.8 u - 1.2 u
= 1.6 u
1.6 u = 384
1 u = 384 ÷ 1.6 = 240
Number of children
= 4 u
= 4 x 240
= 960
(b)
25% =
25100 =
14The total number of men and children in the end is repeated.
4.8 u = 3 p
Number of men and children
= 0.8 u + 4 u
= 4.8 u
= 4.8 x 240
= 1152
3 p = 4.8 u
3 p = 1152
1 p = 1152 ÷ 3 = 384
Number of women in the end
= 1 p
= 384
Number of women at first
= 0.2 u
= 0.2 x 240
= 48
Number of women who joined before the event ended
= 384 - 48
= 336
Answers: (a) 960; (b) 336
