Question

There are a total of 64 students in the drama and yearbook club combined. Drama has 10 more members than the year book club. How many students are in each club?

Answer 1

Here,

 

let the number of student in yearbook club be x

so, number of students in drama will be x+10

 

total number of students is 64

 

so,

 

x+x+10=64

2x=64-10

2x=54

x=54/2

x=27

 

If x=27

 

x+10= 27+10 =37

 

Therefore, number of students in drama are 37 and in year book are 27
