original number:
men -- 3x
women -- 4x
3x+4x = 126
7x=126
x = 18
so we had 54 men and 72 women
new count:
men = 56
women = 80
new ratio :
men : women = 56:80 = 7 : 10
In a group of 126 spectators the ratio of men to women was 3:4. What is the new ratio if 2 more men and 8 more women joined the group of spectators?
