Question

in a service 1/4 of the people are men, 1/3 are woman and the rest are children if there are 50 children, how many people are there altogether

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of people in service be x.

Now, Number of men in service = x/4

Number of women in service = x/3

→ x/4 + x/3 + 50 = x

→ x/4 + x/3 - x = -50

Now, find the LCM of 3 and 4, i.e 12.

→ (3x + 4x - 12x)/12 = -50

→ 7x - 12x = -50 × 12

→ -5x = -600

→ x = -600/-5

→ x = 120

Therefore, there are 120 peoples in the service.
