Question

The high attendance at this year's Vacation Bible School at Highland Church was one hundred

seven children. This was twenty-three less than twice the number that attended last year. How many
children attended last year?

Answer 1

Answer: 65

Explanation:

Given:

This year's attendence = 107

Let last year's attendence = x

Create an equation an solve for x:

2x - 23 = 107

2x = 107 + 23

2x = 130

x = 130/2

x = 65

Therefore, 65 children attended last year's Vacation Bible School
