At a tourist attraction, there were
38 as many adults as children at first. After 46 adults left, there were 161 more children than adults remaining at a tourist attraction. How many children were at the tourist attraction?
|
Adults |
Children |
Before |
3 u |
8 u |
Change |
- 46 |
|
After |
3 u - 46 |
8 u |
In the end, the number of children was 161 more than the number of adults. If another 161 adults entered the tourist attraction, the number of children and adults would be the same.
8 u = 3 u - 46 + 161
8 u - 3 u = 161 - 46
5 u = 115
1 u = 115 ÷ 5 = 23
Number of children at first
= 8 u
= 8 x 23
= 184
Answer: 184
