Question

In a party of 35 people there are twice as many women as children and twice as many children as men. How many of each are there? Write an algorithm for this.

Answer 1

Answer:

2x+x+x/2=35 so

7x/2=35

therefore x=10

so women =2x=2×10=20

children =x=10

And men =x/2=10/2=5 so 10 +20+5=35
