(a)
70% =
70100 =
710Number of women
= 40% x 7 u
=
40100 x 7 u
= 2.8 u
Number of men
= 7 u - 2.8 u
= 4.2 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 = 144
1 u = 144 ÷ 1.2 = 120
Number of people
= 10 u
= 10 x 120
= 1200
(b)
25% =
25100 =
14The total number of men and children in the end is repeated.
7.2 u = 3 p
Number of men and children
= 4.2 u + 3 u
= 7.2 u
= 7.2 x 120
= 864
3 p = 7.2 u
3 p = 864
1 p = 864 ÷ 3 = 288
Number of women in the end
= 1 p
= 288
Number of women at first
= 2.8 u
= 2.8 x 120
= 336
Number of women who left before the event ended
= 336 - 288
= 48
Answers: (a) 1200; (b) 48
