Question

A school choir has 36 members. There are three times as many underclassmen as seniors. How many seniors are in the choir?

Answer 1

108 if my maths is correct

Answer 2

So, because you have 36 people in the choir, then using Algebra you have 3x underclassmen and then x seniors, 36 would be 4x people, and so you would have 9 seniors. After a simple check, you will find that to be right
