Let the total number of people = N
(1/3)N are adults
(2/3)N are boys and girls
Of this (5/12)(2/3)N are boys = (10/36)N = (5/18)N
A nd (7/12)(2/3)N are girls = (14/36) N = (7/18)N
Note (1/3)N =(6/18) N
No. boys * no. of keychains rec'd + No. adults * keychains rec'd = 368
So
(5/18)N* 2 + (6/18) N * 6 = 368
(10/18)N + (36/18)N = 368
46N / 18 = 368
23N / 9 = 368
(368 * 9 ) / 23 = N = 144
No. of chldren = (2/3) 144 = 96
No. of adults = 48
96 - 48 =
48 more
