<PRE><B>Question 882706</B>
1% of the room is women.
{{{(1/100)X=3}}}
{{{X=300}}}
There are 300 people in the room originally, 3 of them women, 297 of them men.
When the men go to 98%, the women will be at 2%.
{{{3/Y=0.02}}}
{{{Y=3/0.02}}}
{{{Y=150}}}
So then the total population will be 150 people, 3 of them women, 147 men.
So then,
{{{N=297-147=150}}}
150 men have to leave the room.
