Question

In a P.T.A meeting with 150 parents, there were four times as many women as men.

How many
(a) men were in the meeting
(b women were in the meeting

Answer 1

Pretty simple just set the equation up:
Let 4x = women parents
X = men parents
So 4x+ x = 150
5x=150
X= 30
So to solve the question:
A. X = 30 men at the meeting
B. 120 women at the meeting
