A total of 338 children and adults went to a theme park. There were 42 more adults than children at the theme park. Given that the number of men was 4 times the number of women at the theme park, how many men were at the theme park?

Number of women = 1 u
Number of men = 4 u
Number of adults = 1 u + 4 u = 5 u
Number of children = 5 u - 42
Total number of people
= 5 u + 5 u - 42
= 10 u - 42
10 u - 42 = 338
10 u = 338 + 42
10 u = 380
1 u = 380 ÷ 10 = 38
Number of men
= 4 u
= 4 x 38
= 152
Answer(s): 152
