Answer:
The total number of members in the group are 80
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of people be X
60% of X is 60X/100 = 3X/5
Total number of men = 3X/5
3X/5+32=X
[3X+160]/5 = X
3X+160 = 5X
160 =5X-3X
160 = 2X
160/2 = X
80 = X
The total number of people are 80
VERIFICATION :
Number of men = 3X/5 =3 x 80/5 = 3 x 16 = 48
60% of 80 is 60 x 80/100 = 48
48+32=80
