Question 753349
Three-fourths of the girls in a class play soccer. If twelve more girls in the class played, there would be 57 girls who play soccer. How many girls are in the class
------
Let "x" be the # of girls in the class.
-----
Equation:
(3/4)x+12 = 57
-----
(3/4)x = 45
x = 60 (# of girls in the class)
