There are a total of 100 people on a committee. 30 of them decide to meet on Saturday. If one-third of the women and one-fifth of the men on the committee participate in the Saturday meeting, how many women are at the meeting?
+37157 w = women on comittee
100-w = men on committee
1/3 w + (100-w)(1/5) = 30
1/3w + 20 - 1/5w = 30
2/15 w = 10
w= 75 75 women on committee 1/3 at meeting = 1/3 * 75 = 25 women at Saturday meeting.
+37157 w = women on comittee
100-w = men on committee
1/3 w + (100-w)(1/5) = 30
1/3w + 20 - 1/5w = 30
2/15 w = 10
w= 75 75 women on committee 1/3 at meeting = 1/3 * 75 = 25 women at Saturday meeting.
+146 For once, Mr. my rival, is correct. 25 women are at the saturday meeting.!?
