Question

The pilgrims and indians had a feast a big feast there was 10 more pilgrims than indians there were 150 people in all how many pilgrims and how many indians

Answer 1

To solve the problem, set the number of Indians as 'I' and the number of Pilgrims as 'I + 10'. Solving the equation I + (I + 10) = 150 gives 70 Indians and 80 Pilgrims at the feast.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to solve for the number of Pilgrims and Indians at the feast, where it is known that the total number of people present was 150, and there were 10 more Pilgrims than Indians. Let's denote the number of Indians as 'I' and the number of Pilgrims as 'I + 10' since there were 10 more Pilgrims than Indians. Setting up an equation based on the total number of people, we have:

I + (I + 10) = 150

Simplifying the equation:

2I + 10 = 150

2I = 140

I = 70

Therefore, there were 70 Indians at the feast. To find the number of Pilgrims, we add 10 to the number of Indians:

Pilgrims = Indians + 10

Pilgrims = 70 + 10

Pilgrims = 80

So, there were 70 Indians and 80 Pilgrims at the feast.

Answer 2

X + 10 = 80 pilgrims are in the feast
