The ratio of men to women in the Snyder community choir is 4 to 5. The ratio of men to women in the Leigh community choir is 5 to 6. If the two choirs merged, the ratio of men to women in the combined choir would be 22 to 27. If Snyder has 4 more men and 6 more women than Leigh, how many women are in the Snyder choir?\nOptions:\n(A) 20\n(B) 24\n(C) 30\n(D) 32\n(E) 34 Stream of consciousness:

Use simultaneous equations / By combination\n4x = 5y + 4\n5x = 6y + 6\nMultiply (1) by 6\nMultiply (2) by -5\nGet rid of y, and x = 6\nThen 5x = 30
Thus, the answer is (C).
