    Answer: There were 1200 people at the amusement park.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the total number of people in the amusement park.

    At the amusement park, 60% of the people were adults, and the rest were children. It means that the number of people at the park that were adults would be

    60/100 * x = 0.6 * x = 0.6x

    There were 720 adults. It means that

    0.6x = 720

    Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 0.6, it becomes

    0.6x/0.6 = 720/0.6

    x = 1200
