Question

Guys Please help me with this question urgent!!

There were 120 people at a meeting. The ratio of men to women was 7 to 3.
24 more people joined the meeting. The ratio of men to women was then 11 : 5. How many women were among those 24?

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

1.)Find the amount of women within the 120 people in the meeting. So 3/10*120 , you get 36.

2.)Add 24 to 120 to get the new amount of people in the room. So 144.

3.)Using the new ratio 11:5 , find the amount of total women out of 144 people . So 5/16*144 , you get 45.

4.)Now minus the 2 amounts of initial women from the amount of total new women , to get the difference to find out how many women are there in the 24 people. So 45-36 , you get 9
