4 men as much as 15 boys  ⇒24 men as much as 15×6=90 boys  4 women as much as 9 boys  ⇒20 women as much as 9×5=45 boys   since 27 girls as much as 20 women ,  27 girls as much as 45 boys(1)  24 men as much as 90 boys(2)  From (1)(2) infer 54 girls will earn  the same  amount as 24 men  Answer is 54 girls equal 24 men  about food
