DAY 331

120 people are at a party. 3/5 are women. 2/3 of the 120 are married. How many unmarried women are at the party? How many unmarried men? (Assume married means one man married to one woman.)

Answer:

32 unmarried women and 8 unmarried men........
3/5 of 120 = 72 women
120 - 72 = 48 men
2/3 of 120 = 80 married people
40 married men and 40 married women
72-40 = 32 unmarried women
48-40 = 8 unmarried men
