Question

9.
A television station organised a cooking competition.
At first, there were 673 more women than men who registered for
the competition
After another 219 women registered, there were 3 times as many
women as men.
How many people registered for the competition in the end?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

hey I think answer is 1127

bcs let the people register for the competition in the end be x+y where let no of men be x and women be y

so first condition says

x=y+673 (1)

second says

x=3y+219 (2)

so equating (1) and (2) we get

3y+219=y+673

solving it we get

y=227

substituting it in (1) we get x=900

so x+y=900+227

so 1127

thus total people are 1127

u can verify it by substituting the x and y values in 1 and 2 equations
