3150The total number of spectators at first is repeated. Make the total number of spectators the same. LCM of 3 and 10 is 30.
Number of less parent spectators than child spectators at first
= 21 u - 9 u
= 12 u
12 u = 1800
1 u = 1800 ÷ 12 = 150
If some child spectators join, the total number of parent spectators and performers remains unchanged.
Number of child spectators who must join so that 62% of the people are child spectators
= 31 u - 21 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 150
= 1500
Answer(s): 1500
