Let Original Member be x
First One third guest departed i.e x/3
Remaining guest x-(x/3) = 2x/3
Now from Remaining (2x/3) two-fifths departed(4x/15)
i.e. Nw Remaining guest will be (2x/3 - 4x/15 = 2x/5)
Now from Remaining (2x/5) two-thirds departed(4x/15)
Nw remaining (2x/5 - 4x/15)= 2x/15
which is equal to 6 (according to question)
2x/15=6 which gives x=45
