Question

There are a total of 5500 people in the stadium consisting of men, women, and children altogether in a swimming pool. There are twice as many women as men and four times as many children as women. How many men, women, and children are at the swimming pool?

Answer 1

Men be 500

Women be 1000

And, the children be 4000

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume the men be x

So the women be 2x

And, the children be 2x(4) i.e. 8x

Now according to the question

x + 2x + 8x = 5500

11x = 5500

x = 500

Men be 500

Women be 1000

And, the children be 4000
