A total of 346 adults and children went to a safari park. There were 24 more children than adults at the safari park. Given that the number of girls was 4 times the number of boys at the safari park, how many girls were at the safari park?
| Adults |
Children |
Total |
| 5 u - 24 |
5 u |
346 |

Girls |
Boys |

4 u |
1 u |

Number of boys = 1 u
Number of girls = 4 u
Number of children = 1 u + 4 u = 5 u
Number of adults = 5 u - 24
Total number of people
= 5 u + 5 u - 24
= 10 u - 24
10 u - 24 = 346
10 u = 346 + 24
10 u = 370
1 u = 370 ÷ 10 = 37
Number of girls
= 4 u
= 4 x 37
= 148
Answer(s): 148
