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?	Choose one.
A) 20	B) 24	C) 30	D) 32	E) 34
Use simultaneous equations / By combination   4x = 5y + 4   5x = 6y + 6   Multiply (1) by 6   Multiply (2) by -5   Get rid of y, and x = 6   Then 5x = 30   ANSWER:30
