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.

hope it helps
