Should that say : At the zoo, there were 3 times as many monkeys as lions ?
if so, then
let the number of lions be x
the number of monkeys is 3x
x + 3x = 24
solve for x
At the zoo, there where 3 times as many monkeys and lions.Tom counted a total of 24 monkeys and lions. How many monkeys were there?
