Answers
Given,
Total trees planted = 152
number of girls = ? (Lets suppose x )
number of boys = ( x + 3 ) {Reason: 3 more than girls(x) = x+3 }
Each plantation by boy = 4 trees
Each plantation by girls = 3 trees
Now ,
we know that,
Total Trees = Trees planted by boys + Trees planted by girls
152 = ( number of boys * unit plantation) + ( number of girls * unit plantation)
152 = ( (x+3) * 4 ) + ( x * 3 )
152 = ( 4x + 12 ) + 3x
152 = 4x + 3x + 12
152 - 12 = 7x
140 = 7x
x = 20
Finally, number of boys = x+3 = 23
number of girls = x = 20
Answer:
Number of boys = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
let number of boys be x and girls be y
X = Y + 3
4X + 3Y = 152
4(Y + 3) + 3Y = 152
7Y + 12 = 152
7Y = 140
Y = 20
X = Y + 3
X = 20 + 3
X = 23
Number of boys = 23
Number of girls = 20
