A total of 204 adults and children went to a concert hall. There were 36 more children than adults at the concert hall. Given that the number of boys was 4 times the number of girls at the concert hall, how many boys were at the concert hall?

Number of girls = 1 u
Number of boys = 4 u
Number of children = 1 u + 4 u = 5 u
Number of adults = 5 u - 36
Total number of people
= 5 u + 5 u - 36
= 10 u - 36
10 u - 36 = 204
10 u = 204 + 36
10 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 10 = 24
Number of boys
= 4 u
= 4 x 24
= 96
Answer(s): 96
