Question

Three-fourths of the people at a concert are children. If there are 87 children, what is the total number of people at the concert?

Answer 1

Hello!

Let's write this as an equation below.

3/4x=87

To find our answer ,we just divide both sides of the equation by 3/4.

x=116

Therefore, 116 people attended the concert.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

116 people

Step-by-step explanation:

At a concert the total number of children = 87

Children are 3/4 of the total number of people at the concert.

Let the total number of people be 'x'

Now the equation would be

$\frac{3}{4}x=87$

= ($\frac{4}{3}$) ×  ($\frac{3}{4}x$) =  ($\frac{4}{3}$) × (87)

x = 116

Therefore, the total number of people are 116 at the concert.
