Question 1204788

you probably made mistake typing {{{8004}}} of them were women , I assume it should be {{{804}}} 


There were {{{1200}}} persons at a crusade, {{{804}}} 

let the number of men be {{{x}}}
then the number of children is {{{3x}}}

{{{x+3x+804=1200}}}

{{{4x=1200-804}}}

{{{4x=396}}}

{{{x=396/4}}}

{{{x=99}}} =>the number of men

then

{{{3x=3*99}}}

{{{3x=297}}} => the number of children
