Question

There are 178 more bikers than hikers if there are 676 people in the park total how many people are hikers?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total number of hikers are 427

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

The number of bikers = x

The number of hikers = y

There are 178 more bikers than hikers

y = x + 178

if there are 676 people in the park total how many people are hikers?

Hence:

x + y = 676

we substitute x + 178 for y

x + x + 178 = 676

2x + 178 = 676

2x = 676 - 178

2x = 498

x = 498/2

x = 249

y =x + 178

y = 249 + 178

y = 427

Therefore:

The number of bikers = x = 249

The number of hikers = y = 427

The total number of hikers are 427
