Question

There are 336 girls at a concert. the ratio of girls to guys at the concert is 4 to 5, how many total girls and guys are at the concert

Answer 1

To find the total number of girls and guys at the concert, we start with the given ratio of girls to guys, which is 4 to 5. This means that for every 4 girls, there are 5 guys.

Let the number of girls be \(4x\) and the number of guys be \(5x\).

According to the problem, the number of girls is given as 336.

So, we can set up the equation:
\[
4x = 336
\]

Now, solving for \(x\):

\[
x = \frac{336}{4} = 84
\]

Now that we have \(x\), we can find the number of guys:

\[
5x = 5 \times 84 = 420
\]

Now, we can find the total number of people at the concert by adding the number of girls and guys:

\[
\text{Total} = \text{Number of girls} + \text{Number of guys} = 336 + 420 = 756
\]

Thus, the total number of girls and guys at the concert is **756**.
