    Solution

    ATQ, Total weight of x persons = 35 × x = 35x kg Total weight of (x - 16) women = 45 × (x -16) = 45x - 720 kg Total weight of (x - 30) children = 40 × (x - 30) = 40x - 1200 kg Total weight of (x - 33) men = 40 × (x - 33) = 40x - 1320 kg According to the question, 35x = 45x - 720 + 40x - 1200 + 40x - 1320 35x = 125x - 3240 90x = 3240 x = 36
