(a)
25% =
25100 =
14Number of women
= 30% x 1 u
=
30100 x 1 u
= 0.3 u
Number of men
= 1 u - 0.3 u
= 0.7 u
Number of girls
= 70% x 3 u
=
70100 x 3 u
= 2.1 u
Number of boys
= 3 u - 2.1 u
= 0.9 u
Number of more girls than boys
= 2.1 u - 0.9 u
= 1.2 u
1.2 u = 288
1 u = 288 ÷ 1.2 = 240
Number of children
= 3 u
= 3 x 240
= 720
(b)
20% =
20100 =
15The total number of men and children in the end is repeated.
3.7 u = 4 p
Number of men and children
= 0.7 u + 3 u
= 3.7 u
= 3.7 x 240
= 888
4 p = 3.7 u
4 p = 888
1 p = 888 ÷ 4 = 222
Number of women in the end
= 1 p
= 222
Number of women at first
= 0.3 u
= 0.3 x 240
= 72
Number of women who joined before the event ended
= 222 - 72
= 150
Answers: (a) 720; (b) 150
