Question

There are 50 teenagers at a swim team. The ratio of locals to out-of-town participants is 2:3. How many teenagers travelled from out-of-town to the swim meet?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE LOCAL TEENAGERS BE 2x

AND THE OUT OF TOWN TEENAGERS BE 3x

BTP

2x + 3x = 50

5x = 50

x = 50/5

x = 10

THE LOCAL TEENAGERS ARE 2x

2×10=20

THE OUT OF TOWN TEENAGERS ARE 3x

3×10=30

HOPE IT HELPS YOU.
