A group of men and women gathered to compete

A group of men and women gathered to compete in a marathon. Before the competition, each competitor was weighed and the average weight of the female competitors was found to be 120 lbs. What percentage of the competitors were women?

(1) The average weight of the men was 150 lb.
(2) The average weight of the entire group was twice as close to the average weight of the men as it was to the average weight of the women.

Hi,

- Is this problem from the free GMAT PREP software?
If so, please post a screenshot for verification. In several GMAT PREP collections, I can't seem to find any other mention of it.
Thanks.

"- Please ask specific questions about the problem.
