Question

How many people work in the factory? When- 800 people live in the town. 15 out of every 50 adults work in the factory. The town has 200 children aged 17 or younger. 18 is considered the age for being called an adult. Children under 18 may not work in the factory.

Answer 1

Answer: 180 people

Explanation:

Number if people living in the town = 800

Children aged 17 or younger = 200

Adults of 18 and above = 800 - 200 = 600

Since 15 out of every 50 adults work in the factory, the number of people that work in the factory will be:

= 15/50 × 600

= 180 people
