Question

A group of people were asked to choose their favourite sport. One fourth chose basketball, one third chose football and two fifth chose cricket while 3 persons chose tennis. How many people were there in the group?

Answer 1

let total people be x
x/4+x/3+3+2x/5=x
lcm=60
15x+20x+180+24x=x(60)
59x-60x=-180
-x=-180
x=180

Answer 2

Answer:

let total people be x

X upon 4 + X upon 3 + 2 X upon 5 is equal to X

LCM is equal to 60

15 X + 20 X + 180 + 24 x is equal to 60x

59 x minus 60 x is equal to minus 180

minus x is equal to minus 180

minus minus cancel

x is equal to 180
