\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the number of children attended. Then the number of adult attended is 3x, according to the condition.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then you have an equation \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 3x = 300.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve it:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x = 300,\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"300%2F4\"$ = 75. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus 75 children were in attendance and 3*75 = 225 adults. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
