A group of 266 people, composed of men, women, children. There are four times more men than children, and twice as many women as children, how many are there?

A)34

B)49

C)38

To solve this you would need to set this up as an equation
Children=x
Women=2x
Men=4x
Children is x because the amount is unknown
So to set this up it would be x+2x+4x=266
All of the x’s added is 7x so it’s 7x=266
Divide both sides by 7
7/7 cancels out leaving only x and 266 divided by 7 is 38
So the amount of kids is 38, the amount of women is 76 and the amount of men is 152
In short C

One shot. if 60% of 10 is 6, then what is 70%? we know it would be seven (since 60% is mathematically 60/100, or 6/10, then 70% is 70/100, or 7/10) but we can check anyway using ratios: 6 : 60% = x : 70%*inverse multiplicationx * 60% = 6 * 70%*divide both sides by 60%x = (6 * 70%) / 60%x = 7and since he has made 6 shots already, he would need just one more to get 7 shots or 70%. if the explanation is too confusing, comment and i will try to
