Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey There!

Here is the solution step by step,

===================================

Let the total number of people = X

Children = 3X/8

adult = X - 3X/8 = 5X/8

adult = children + 40

5X/8 = 3X/8 + 40

5X/8 - 3X/8 = 40

2X/8 = 40

X/4 = 40

X = 160

So,

the total number of people = 160

===================================

hope it's helpful for you!
