Every person in a certain group is either a Dodgers fan or a Yankees fan, but not both. The ratio of Yankees fans to Dodgers fans is 5 to 3. If 22 Yankees fans change teams to become Dodgers fans, the ratio of Dodgers fans to Yankees fans will be 1 to 1. How many people are in the group?

Let the number of Yankee fans = 5x
Let the number of Dodgers fans = 3x

After the change,
The number of Yankee fans = 5x-22
The number of Dodgers fans = 3x+22
So (5x-22)/(3x+22) = 1/1
5x - 22 = 3x + 22
2x = 44
x = 22

We can plug in the answers, which represent the total number of people.

After 22 people switch from Yankees to Dodgers, Y : D = 1:1.
Thus, the resulting number of Yankees fans must be 1/2 of the correct answer choice, yielding the following options for the resulting number of Yankees fans after the switch:
11, 44, 64, 72, 88.

Thus, the original number of Yankees fans must have been 22 greater than one of the values above, yielding the following options for the original number of Yankees fans:
33, 66, 86, 94, 110.

Before the switch, Y : D = 5:3, implying that the original number of Yankees fans must be a multiple of 5.
Only answer choice E is viable.

The correct answer is E.

Oops! I left it a x. The total number of people in the group = 5x + 3x = 8x = 8*22 = 176
