Explanation:
The Patel, Lopez, and Russo families all had parties recently. There were 152 adults at the Lopez party. The ratio of adults to children at the Russo party was 5 to 4. What was the ratio of adults to children at the Patel party?
(1) The Russo party had 31 more adults than children, and 47 more adults than did the Patel party.
(2) The Patel party had 40 more children, though 4 fewer people in total, than did the Lopez party, where the ratio of adults to children was 8 to 5.
Answer: Let the number of children in Russo party be x, The Russo party had 31 more adults than children, therefore the number of adults at the Russo party = x + 31. The ratio of adults to children at the Russo party was 5 to 4, we can find the number of children using:
The number of children at the Russo party is 124 and the number of adult is 155 (124 + 31).
They are 47 more adults at the Russo party than the Patel party, the number of adult at the Patel party = 155 - 47 = 108
the ratio of adults to children was 8 to 5 at the Lopez party, There were 152 adults at the party. Let x be the number of children at the Lopez party therefore:
The Patel party had 40 more children than the Lopez, the number of children at the Patel party = 135 (95 + 40).
The ratio of adults to children at the Patel party is
