h. 125

Answer 1

210 people are there at the fair

Explanation:

Let the total number of people at the fair = X

People under 16 years old = 70% of X = 0.7 X

People remaining = Total number of people - Under 16 years

= X - 0.7X = 0.3X

The number of teachers = 1/3 of People remaining = 1/3 of 0.3X

Since there are 21 teachers

1/3 of 0.3X = 21

1/3 x 0.3X = 21

0.1X = 21

Divide both sides by the coefficient of X

0.1X/0.1 = 21/0.1

X = 210

That is 210 people are there at the fair
