Question

The number of men in a tour group is 15 times the number of women. If there are 48 people in the group, how many are men?

let women = x
therefore men = 15x
total people= 48
therefore 15x+x=48
16x=48
so x=3
therefore there are 3 women and 45 men

Answer 2

yep..

let no.of women be x
then no.of men will be 15x

x + 15x = 48
16x = 48
x = 48/16
x = 3

15x = 15(3) = 45

therefore there are 45 men
