Question

2/9 of the people in a restaurant are adults. If there are 95 more children than adults, how many children are there in the restaurant?

Answer 1

let total number of people in the restaurant be x.

number of adults=2x/9

number of children=(2x/9)+95

now,

x=2x/9+(2x/9+95)

x=2x/9+[(2x+855)/9]

x=(2x+2x+855)/9

9x=4x+855

9x-4x=855

5x=855

thus,x=855/5=171.

so,number of children=(2×171)+95

=342+95

=437.

Answer 2

Answer:

133

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people= x

Adults= 2/9 x

Children = x- 2/9x= 7/9 x

• 7/9x- 2/9x= 95
• 5/9x= 95
• x=95*9/5
• x=171

number of children:

• 7/9x= 7/9*171= 133
