We are asked to calculate number of children
Let us assume number of adults and children as 3x and 5x
It is given that total number of people are 72.
According To Question
3x + 5x = 72
→ 8x = 72
→ x = 72/8 = 9
x = 9
Adults = 3x = 3 × 9 = 27 people
Children = 5x = 5 × 9 = 45 people
- Hence, there are 45 children in the party.
