Question

At a party 3/8 of the people were children.Rest were adults. Given that 40 were more adults.How many people were at the party.

Answer 1

Answer:

3/8=children

remaining 5/8=adults

difference of adults and children=40

5/8-3/8=2/8

2/8=40 (according to the question)

1/8=40/2=20

5/8=20x5=100

3/8=20x3=60

100+60=160

number of people present at the party=160
