Step 1: Share the ratio to find the number of men who left the party2 parts + 5 parts = 7 parts
7 parts = 1051 part = 15
Therefore 2 parts = 30Step 2: Calculate the number of people who left the party
Men left → 10% = 30People left → 100% = 300
Therefore, 300 people left the partyStep 3: Calculate the number of adults at the party ( by reverse percentage)
40% → 300 people1% → 7.5 people
100% → 750 peopleThere 750 people at the party
Step 4: Find the number of women750 - 105 = 645
Therefore there were 645 women at the party at the beginning
