Question

There are 7052 boys and adults at carnival.

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 6,296 children at the carnival

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of each group of people can be expressed as;

Number of boys (b)+number of adults (a)=7,052

b+a=7,052....equation 1

Number of girls (g)=Number of adults (a)-756

g=a-756....equation 2

But Number of girls (g)=number of boys (b)

Replacing the value of b in equation 1 with that of g in equation 2;

(a-756)+a=7,052

a+a=7,052+756

2 a=7,808

a=7,808/2

a=3,904

Replace the value of a in equation 2 with 3,904

g=3,904-756

g=3,148

But since g=b

g=b=3,148

b=3,148

Total number of children=Total number of boys (b)+total number of girls (g)

Total number of children=b+g

where;

b=3,148

g=3,148

replacing;

Total number of children=(3,148+3,148)=6,296

There are 6,296 children at the carnival
