Answer 2

ANSWER:

Let 'x' be the total number of people who attend the party.

Number of college mates = 50

Fraction of college mates = 1/3

i.e, 1/3 of x = 50

    1/3 × x = 50

    x = 50×3 = 150

Fraction of office colleague = 1/5

So, the number of office colleagues = 1/5 × x = 1/5 × 150 = 30     (x=150)
