Solve the following word problem.

Question

A total of 385 people attended the homecoming football game; everyone present was either a student of the school or a family member. There were 83 more students than family members present. How many students and family members were there?

Answer 1

S+F = 385

F+83 + F = 385

2F = 385-83 = 302

F = 302/2 = 151 family members

S = 151+83 = 234 students
