Same pattern as 836 students — who takes the bus. New numbers, new story. Try each one on paper, then check the working below — or watch it drawn out, the same way the problem above is.
Question 1
A company has 880 employees, made up of men and women. 5/6 of the men and 3/4 of the women attended a training workshop. The number of men who did not attend is three times the number of women who did not attend. How many women did not attend the workshop?

Question 2
A factory has 810 workers, made up of assembly-line workers and packing workers. 7/12 of the assembly-line workers and 8/9 of the packing workers finished their shift on time. The number of assembly-line workers who did not finish on time is three times the number of packing workers who did not finish on time. How many packing workers did not finish on time?

Question 3
A charity fun fair had 370 visitors, made up of children and adults. 7/9 of the children and 7/10 of the adults bought a raffle ticket. The number of children who did not buy a raffle ticket is twice the number of adults who did not buy one. How many adults did not buy a raffle ticket?
