. A rowing club has 600 members. 60% of them are women. After 200 new members joined the club, the percentage of women was reduced to 50%. How many of the new members are women?

Respuesta :

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial number of members = 600

Percentage of women = [tex]60\%\ of\ 600=0.60\times 600=360[/tex]

Now, members added = 200

So, total number of members after addition = 600 + 200 = 800

Percentage of women out of 800 members = [tex]50\%\ of\ 800=0.50\times 800 =400[/tex]

Increase in women = New number of women - Old number of women

Therefore, increase in women = 400 - 360 = 40

So, 40 women are there in the 200 new members that joined the club.
