In a party of 35 people, there are twice as many women as children and twice as many children as men.
How many of each are there?
Best answer
If M is the number of Men, then we have
C = 2M
W=2C
Putting the above into equation, M + C + W = 35
M + 2M + 4M = 35.
Hence , Men = 5, Children = 10, Women = 20
