Question

24) One third of a group of people are men. If the number of women is 200 more than the men, find the total number of the people

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of people in group = 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of people in group.

Men = x/3

Women = 2x/3

Since,

Women = 200 + Men

$\frac{2x}{3} = 200 + \frac{x}{3} \\ \frac{2x}{3} - \frac{x}{3} = 200 \\ \frac{x}{3} = 200 \\ x \: = 600$
