16 of the people are children.
710 of the remainder are men.
There are 25 more men than children.
How many people are there?
Children |
Adults |
1 x 2 |
5 x 2 |
|
Men |
Women |
|
7 |
3 |
2 u |
7 u |
3 u |
The number of adults is the combined repeated identity.
Make the number of adults the same by using LCM of 5 and 10.
LCM of 5 and 10 = 10
Number of men = 7 u
Number of children = 2 u
Number of more men than children
= 7 u - 2 u
= 5 u
5 u = 25
1 u = 25 ÷ 5 = 5
Total number of people
= 2 u + 7 u + 3 u
= 12 u
= 12 x 5
= 60
Answer(s): 60
