You just cross multiply and then simplify
So if x people were surveyed,

people owned a bike and

did not.
The difference between them is 72:

x-\frac{1}{8} [/tex] =72
so this means that

x=72
let's simplify:

x=72
and divide by 3:

x=24
and mupliply by 4:
x=96
so 96 people were surveyed
Answer:
24:40 or 3:5
Step-by-step explanation:
Boys: 24
All children: 24 + 16 = 40
Boys to total amount of children: 24:40
Simplify: 24:40 = 3:5
20 + 40x = 260
40x = 260 - 20
40x = 240
x = 240/40
x = 6 fulltime employees needed
