Question

Three-fourths of the people at a concert are children. If there are 87 children, what is the total number of people at the concert?

Answer 1

Hello!

Let's write this as an equation below.

3/4x=87

To find our answer ,we just divide both sides of the equation by 3/4.

x=116

Therefore, 116 people attended the concert.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

116 people

Explanation:

At a concert the total number of children = 87

Children are 3/4 of the total number of people at the concert.

Let the total number of people be 'x'

Now the equation would be

`(3)/(4)x=87`

= (
`(4)/(3)`) × (
`(3)/(4)x`) = (
`(4)/(3)`) × (87)

x = 116

Therefore, the total number of people are 116 at the concert.
