Question

A water park has 28 water attractions: pools, game areas, and water slides. There are P pools and P +2 games areas. If 50% of the attractions are water slides, how many games areas are there?

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

total: 28 water attractions

pools: p

game areas: p + 2

water slides: 50% of 28 = 14

14 + p + p + 2 = 28

2p = 12

p = 6

game areas:

p + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
