Question

9. The number of children who went for cable car ride in an amusement park was one-fourth of the number of children who went for striking cars. If the total number of children who went for the two rides was 150, find the number of children who went for the cable car ride,​

Answer 1

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

total number of children = 150

number of children went to cable car ride = 1/4(number of children went to striking cars)

LET,

number of children went to striking cars be "x"

THEN,

number of children went to cable car ride are "x/4"

THEN,

total number of children = x + (x/4)

=>150 = x +(x/4)

=>150 = (4x + x) /4

=>150×4 =5x

=>600 = 5x

=>x = 600/5

=> x = 120

THERFORE,

number of children went to cable car ride =x/4

=120/4

= 30
