A total of 308 adults and children went to a bird park. There were 28 more children than adults at the bird park. Given that the number of girls was 3 times the number of boys at the bird park, how many girls were at the bird park?

Number of boys = 1 u
Number of girls = 3 u
Number of children = 1 u + 3 u = 4 u
Number of adults = 4 u - 28
Total number of people
= 4 u + 4 u - 28
= 8 u - 28
8 u - 28 = 308
8 u = 308 + 28
8 u = 336
1 u = 336 ÷ 8 = 42
Number of girls
= 3 u
= 3 x 42
= 126
Answer(s): 126
