Question

27. The attendance at a party consisted of 35 men, a number of women and some children. The number of women was one and a half that of the children present. a) If there are a total of 65 participants, how many women attended the party? ​

Answer 1

There are 35 Men, 12 Children, and 18 Women

Explanation:

Men(M), Women(W) and Children(C)

We learn that:

M = 35

W = 1.5C , and

M+W+C = 65

----

M+W+C = 65

M+1.5C+C = 65

35+1.5C+C = 65

2.5C = 30

C = 12

If C=12 and W=1.5C, then W=18

----

There are 35 Men, 12 Children, and 18 Women

(35+12+18) = 65 participants
