Answer:

The answer to your question is there were 88 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total number of people = 188

total cost = $5040

12 more adults than seniors

number of children = ?

adults = a

children = c

Process

1.- Write equations that help to solve this problem

             a + c = 188              Equation l

             a = c + 12                 Equation ll

2.- Solve by substitution. Substitute equation equation ll in equation l

           (c + 12) + c = 188

-Solve for c

            c + 12 + c = 188

            2c + 12 = 188

            2c = 188 - 12

            2c = 176

              c = 176 / 2

              c = 88

3.- Conclusion

There were 88 children

A physical education teacher plans to divide the seventh graders at Wilson Middle School into teams of equal size of year-ending
Crank

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The total number of students are: 24+26+21=71

He wants each team will have the same number of students between 5 and 9.

The number between 5 to 9 are 6, 7 and 8.

The number 71 is a prime number so we need to divide the 71 students in group so that minimum students left without team.

Dividing 6 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{6} = 11 teams and 5 students.

Dividing 7 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{7} = 10 teams and 1 students.

Dividing 8 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{8} = 8 teams and 7 students.

Thus, we can not divide 71 students into equal teams, but 70 divided by 7 gives the least students left out i.e 10 teams each with 7 students and only 1 student will remain at last.

Sammy and David were selling water bottles to raise money for new football uniforms famous or 5 water bottles for every 3 water
ANTONII [103]
In the given question, we come to know that Sammy sold 5 bottles for every 3 water bottles sold by David. In this case we get the ratio as 5:3
Now this ratio indicates that the total number of bottles can be divided into 8 parts for finding out a single part. the total number of water bottles that are sold by Sammy and David together are 160.
Now on dividing this total number of bottles by 8 we get the 20 as one part.
The,
Number of Bottles sold by Sammy = 5 * 20
                                                         = 100
Number of bottles sold by David = 3 * 20
                                                   = 60
So Sammy sold 100 water bottles and David sold 60 water bottles from the total of 160 water bottles.
