Setup
remember is means =, and of means *
Writing across the words
15 = x * 39
15/39 = x
x =0.3846 = 38.46%
Well, some integers can be irrational, but not all! :)

Answer:
16 bicycles and 21 tricycles
Step-by-step explanation:
Both bicycles and tricycles have 1 set of handlebars. Bicycles have 2 wheels while tricycles have 3.
Using this information, set up a system of equations, where b is the number of bicycles and t is the number of tricycles:
b + t = 37
2b + 3t = 95
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -2:
-2b - 2t = -74
2b + 3t = 95
t = 21
Then, plug in 21 as t into one of the equations:
b + t = 37
b + 21 = 37
b = 16
So, there are 16 bicycles and 21 tricycles
