Answer: Number of Men = 44;
Number of Women = 64
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of men be x
At a party there were 20 more women than men. This means the number of women = x + 20
Since the men paid Rs 30 each, the women Rs 20 each, and the total receipts 2600. This will be represented in an equation as:
(30 × x) + [20 × (x + 20)] = 2600
30x + 20x + 400 = 2600
30x + 20x = 2600 - 400
50x = 2200
x = 2200/50
x = 44
The number of men = 44
Number of women = 44 + 20 = 64
