Question: My mother celebrated her birthday with a total of 60 guests. Half of the guests are women, 15 are men, and the rest are children. In the middle of the celebration, 1/3 of the men and 5 children left. How many people stayed and enjoyed the birthday celebration?
Answer: There were 60 guests / 2 = 30 women at my mother's birthday celebration. There were 30 women + 15 men = 45 men and women. So, 60 people - 45 men and women = 15 were children. Then, 15 men / 3 = 5 men left. Thus, 5 men + 5 children = 10 people left. Therefore, 60 people - 10 people = 50 people stayed and enjoyed the birthday celebration. The answer is 50.
