People enjoyed attending the concert in the park. Twice as many men as women attended the concert. If the total attendance was 714, how many women attended the concert?

Hello! A way we could solve this equation is to divide 714 by three and then multiply the quotient by 2 to get the number of men that attended. 714/3 is 238. There were 238 women that attended the concert. 238 * 2 is 476. 476 + 238 = 714. There. There were 476 men that attended the concert.

714 divided by 3 equals 238. 238 plus 238 equals 476 (477 men-double the women). 476 plus 238 equals 714 (total).

Answer:
238 women
476 men
