A total of 299 adults and children went to a bird park. There were 41 more children than adults at the bird park. Given that the number of boys was 4 times the number of girls at the bird park, how many boys were at the bird park?

1 u |

Number of girls = 1 u
Number of boys = 4 u
Number of children = 1 u + 4 u = 5 u
Number of adults = 5 u - 41
Total number of people
= 5 u + 5 u - 41
= 10 u - 41
10 u - 41 = 299
10 u = 299 + 41
10 u = 340
1 u = 340 ÷ 10 = 34
Number of boys
= 4 u
= 4 x 34
= 136
Answer(s): 136
