Explanation:

Ultimately we know:

Men = * 5

Women = * 2

Children =

We can already make the estimation that the amount of children will be below 50. So by trial and error you will get to your answer by substituting with 41.

Children - 41

Women - 41 x 2 = 82

Men - 41 x 5 = 205

205 + 41 + 82 = 328

So your answer is 41
