Answer:

t = total people

m = men

w = women

w / m = 3 So A) w = 3 * m

B) w = m + 200

multiplying A) by minus 1

A) -w = -3m

B) w = m + 200

Adding the 2 equations

0 = -2m + 200

2m = 200

m = 100 Since there are 200 more women than men then there are

300 women

Total people = 100 + 300 = 400
