You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ratio of children to adults as 4:3 If there are 525 people at the carnival,
about how many children are in attendance?
4x + 3x =525
7x = 525
x = 75
4x = 300, the number of children are in attendance
CHECKING (3x = 225, number of the adults)
300 + 225 = 525 PEOPLE
