Answer 1

Answer :-

• Number of children in the parade = 865

Given :-

• Total number of people in parade = 3245.

• Number of men in parade = 1400

• Number of women in parade = 980

To Find :-

• Number of children present in parade.

Step By Step Explanation :-

Total number of people in parade will be equal to sum of number of men, women and children.

♠ Total number of people in parade = men + women + children.

Total number of people in parade = 3245

Men in parade = 1400

Women in parade = 980

Children = x

By substituting ⤵

$\implies \sf3245 = 1400 + 980 + x \\ \\\implies \sf 3245 = 2380 + x \\ \\\implies \sf 3245 - 2380 = x \\ \\ \implies \bf865 = x$

Therefore number of children in the parade = 865.
