(a)
20% =
20100 =
15Number 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
= 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 = 352
1 u = 352 ÷ 1.6 = 220
Number of children
= 4 u
= 4 x 220
= 880
(b)
20% =
20100 =
15The total number of men and children in the end is repeated.
4.6 u = 4 p
Number of men and children
= 0.6 u + 4 u
= 4.6 u
= 4.6 x 220
= 1012
4 p = 4.6 u
4 p = 1012
1 p = 1012 ÷ 4 = 253
Number of women in the end
= 1 p
= 253
Number of women at first
= 0.4 u
= 0.4 x 220
= 88
Number of women who joined before the event ended
= 253 - 88
= 165
Answers: (a) 880; (b) 165
