that won by the women. How many medals were won by the women?
WITH FULL EXPLAINATION
Answers
Let number medals won by women be 'X'
the number of medals won by men were 51 more than women
so, medals won by men becomes 'X+51'
total number of medals = ?
67 different events contributed 3 medals in total
therefore number of medals becomes 67*3
=201
(X)+(X+51)=201
X+X+51=201
2X=201-51
2X=150
X=150/2
X=75
medals won by women =X=75
medals won by men=(X+51)= 75+51
=126
hope it helps you
