Green Forest Day Camp has 43 fewer girl campers than boy campers. There are 278 boy Campers. How many actual total campers does Green Forest Day Camp have?

Answer 1

Answer: 513 campers

Explanation

The total number of boys in the camp is 278

There are 43 fewer girl campers than boy

Let the total number of campers be x

Let the total number of girl campers be y

Since, there are 43 fewer girl campers than boy

Hence, the total number of girl campers is

y = Boy campers - 43

Boy campers = 278

y = 278 - 43

y = 235

Since, y is the total number of girl campers, hence, the total number of girl campers is 235

The total number of campers = number of boy campers + number of girl campers

The total number of campers = 278 + 235

The total number of campers = 513 campers

The answer is 513 camperst
