(a)
40% =
40100 =
25Number of women
= 10% x 2 u
=
10100 x 2 u
= 0.2 u
Number of men
= 2 u - 0.2 u
= 1.8 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 = 600
1 u = 600 ÷ 2.4 = 250
Number of children
= 3 u
= 3 x 250
= 750
(b)
20% =
20100 =
15The total number of men and children in the end is repeated.
4.8 u = 4 p
Number of men and children
= 1.8 u + 3 u
= 4.8 u
= 4.8 x 250
= 1200
4 p = 4.8 u
4 p = 1200
1 p = 1200 ÷ 4 = 300
Number of women in the end
= 1 p
= 300
Number of women at first
= 0.2 u
= 0.2 x 250
= 50
Number of women who joined before the event ended
= 300 - 50
= 250
Answers: (a) 750; (b) 250
