Step-by-step explanation:
M = number of men
W = number of women
100-M-W = number of children
Total number of pappadas
5M+3W+(100-M-W)/2 = 100
Solve for W
W = (100-9M)/5 .......................(1)
Examine equation (1).
In order to have W as a whole number, M must be multiple of 5
Therefore M = 5 or 10
If M = 5, W = (100-45)/5 = 11 and children = 100-5-11 = 84
If M = 10, W = (100-90)/5 = 2 and children = 100-10-2 = 88
