At a party,
59 of the people who attended were adults.
35 of the remainder were girls and the rest were boys. If there were 102 more adults than boys, how many children attended the party?
| Adults |
Children |
5x5 =
25 u |
4x5 =
20 u |
| |
Girls |
Boys |
| |
5x4 =
20 u |
| |
3x4 =
12 u |
2x4 =
8 u |
| 25 u |
12 u |
8 u |
The number of children is the combined repeated identity. Make the number of children the same. LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.
Number of more adults than boys
= 25 u - 8 u
= 17 u
17 u = 102
1 u = 102 ÷ 17 = 6
Number of children who attended the party
= 20 u
= 20 x 6
= 120
Answer(s): 120
