Answer: 133 children

Step-by-step explanation:

children = x

adults = y

2/9 (x+y) = y ...

7y - 2x = 0

y+95=x

7y - 2 (y + 95) = 0

7y - 2y - 190 = 0

5y + 190

y = 38

38+95 = x

x = 133 children

Step-by-step explanation:

9/9 - 2/9=7/9

adults=7/9

children=2/9

difference between children and adults = 95 = 7/9 - 2/9 = 5/9

so 95 = 5/9

if 5/9 = 95

2/9 = 2/9 x 95 : 5/9 = 38

answer = 38
