let women on monday be 100u
"On Tuesday, the number of women who visited the museum was 80% of the number of women who visited on Monday. "
tuesday women → 80% x 100u = 80u
100u + 80u + 50 = 950 180u = 950 - 50 = 900 1u → 900 ÷ 180 = 5
total monday → 200 x 5 + 50 = 1050
monday + tuesday → 1050 + 950 = 2000
