Let the total no. Of group of people be 'x'.
So, given that the adults are quater of the total people the it is said to be x/4.
And then the children are 60 more than adults. So the equation is
X=x/4+60
X=x+240/4
=x+240/4-x
=60
So tbe total no. Of people are 60
And the adults are 60/4=15.
And the adults are 15 and the children are 60more than adults=60+15=75.
The total no. Of adults are 15.☺️
