Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

133 children

Step-by-step explanation:

x=children

y=adults

y=(2/7)x

x-95=y

x-95=(2/7)x

(5/7)x=95

x=133

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge \:GIVEN:$

Number of adults to total number of people ratio = 2 : 9

$\huge \: CALCULATION:$

Let the number of adult be 2x and,

Total number of people be = 9x.

⇒ Total number of children = 9x – 2x = 7x

According to question there are 65 more children than adults

⇒ 7x – 2x = 65

⇒ x = 13

∴ Total number of children = 7 × 13 = 91
