Question

A club’s first meeting was attended by 72 people. Nine times as many people went to the first meeting than the second meeting. How many people attended the second meeting?

Answer 1

8 people attended the second meeting.

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of people who attended the first meeting = 72

Let,

x be the number of people who attended second meeting.

9 times people of second meeting = Number of people who attended first meeting

9x = 72

Dividing both sides by 9

`(9x)/(9)=(72)/(9)\\x=8`

Hence,

8 people attended the second meeting.
