Question

In a party 3÷8 of people were children and rest were adult given that 40 more adult then children calculate the total number of people in the party

Answer 1

Let the no. of children be '3x'

Let the no. of adults be '8x'

So according to the given data

=> 8x-3x= 40

=> 5x=40

=> x= 8

So total no. of people in the party will be 3x+8x = 3(8)+8(8)

=> 24+64

=> total no. of people in the party will be 88.
