Let's make an equation. T will be the number.
(T+5)/4=7
Let's multiply both sides by 4 to get T by itself.
T+5=28
Subtract 5 from both sides.
T=23
Your number is 23.

Pls help me with number

vredina [299]

Answer:

Total people = 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of people by 'x'.

$\sf \text{Number of men =$ \dfrac{1}{4}*x$} \\$

$\sf \text{Number of women =$\dfrac{1}{3}x$}$

Number of children = 100

When we subtract the total number of men and women from the total people 'x', we get the number of children.

$\sf x - \left(\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)= 100\\\\x - \left(\dfrac{1*3}{4*3}x+\dfrac{1*4}{3*4}x\right)=100\\\\$

$x- \dfrac{4+3}{12}x=100\\\\x - \dfrac{7}{12}x = 100\\\\ \dfrac{12}{12}x-\dfrac{7}{12}x = 100\\\\ \dfrac{5}{12}x=100\\$

$\sf x = 100*\dfrac{12}{5}\\$

x = 20 * 12

x = 240

<h3> Total number of people = 240</h3>
