Question

Dan's father is an orange farmer and he brought 32 orange it to class today if each child got four oranges and five children did not want oranges how many children are in the class?

Answer 1

Answer:  There are 13 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's call x the number of children in the classroom. We know that each child received 4 oranges, except 5 of them.

2. There were 32 oranges in total.

3. We can write this problem as an equation that represents the number of oranges distributed, as follows:

$4(x-5)=32$

4. Now we solve the equation to find the value of x:

$x-5=\frac{32}{4}$

$x-5=8$

$x=13$

5. There are 13 children in the classroom. 8 of them received oranges and the rest did not.
