At a tourist attraction, there were
35 as many adults as children at first. After 22 adults left, there were 118 more children than adults remaining at a tourist attraction. How many children were at the tourist attraction?
| |
Adults |
Children |
| Before |
3 u |
5 u |
| Change |
- 22 |
|
| After |
3 u - 22 |
5 u |
In the end, the number of children was 118 more than the number of adults. If another 118 adults entered the tourist attraction, the number of children and adults would be the same.
5 u = 3 u - 22 + 118
5 u - 3 u = 118 - 22
2 u = 96
1 u = 96 ÷ 2 = 48
Number of children at first
= 5 u
= 5 x 48
= 240
Answer: 240
