Schmidt · Answer 1

Therefore there total of 39 children presented in group of people who attended a ball game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total people present=52.

And there are 3 times children as adults

To Find:

No. of Children Present in Group.

Solution:

Consider 'x' be the children and 'y' be Adults presented in group.

So there are total of 52 people.

Therefore Equation becomes,

x+y=52.

And also there are 3 times children presented in group as adults were.

So

Children=3 times adults

i. e. x=3y

Using in above Equation we get,

x+y=52

3y+y=52

4y=52

y=52/4

y=13

Hence there are 13 adults presented in group

So,

No. of Children=x=3y

=3 (13)

=39

No. of. Children = 39
