Question

Twice as many students go to the park than to the theater. Five more students go to the theater than to the museum. If 16 students go to the park, how many students go to the museum?

Answer 1

3 students

Explanation:

Twice as many students go to the park than to the theater :

Let number who go the theater = t

Number who goes to park = 2t

5 more students go to the theater than to the museum

Number who goes to museum = t - 5

If number of students who goes to park = 16

How many students goes to the museum :

2t = 16

t = 16/2

t = 8

Number who goes to museum = t - 5

t - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3

Hence, number of students who goes to the museum = 3
