Half of the guests are women, 15 are men, and the rest are children. In the middle of the celebration, 1/3 of the men and 5 children left. How many people stayed and enjoyed the birthday celebration? How many women were there? ** There were 60 guests / 2 = <<60/2=30>>30 women at my mother's birthday celebration. How many people were there? ** There were 30 women + 15 men = <<30+15=45>>45 men and women. How many children were there? ** So, 60 people - 45 men and women = <<60-45=15>>15 were children. How many men left? ** Then, 15 men / 3 = <<15/3=5>>5 men left. How many people left? ** Thus, 5 men + 5 children = 10 people left.
