The number of children at the library was 3 times the number adults. The total number of people at the library was 48. How many
children were at the library
A 12
B 24
C 32
D 36
1 answer:
Answer:
D 36
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Write the information algebraically</em>
c = 3a
c + a = 48
c = children, a = adults
<em>In the second sentence (in bold), we can replace c with 3a</em>
c + a = 48 → 3a + a = 48
<em>Simplify</em>
3a + a = 48 → 4a = 48 → a = 12 (divide both sides by 4)
<em>We can then substitute or plug in a = 12 into the original equation:</em>
c + a = 48 → c + 12 = 48 → c = 36 (subtract 12 from both sides)
<h3>There are 36 children</h3>
