PLZ ANSWER ASAP WILL MAKE BRAINLIEST FOR BEST ANSWER AND EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER There were 1,265 people at a boat show. After 1/5 of the adults and 1/3 of the children left, there was an equal number of children and adults at the show. how many people left the show?

I think the answer is 171.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the total amount of people that left the show. Convert 1/5 and 1/3 into fractions with common denominators. This makes 3/15 and 5/15. Add the two together and get 8/15. Divide 8 by 15 to find the percent of people that left. About 53%. Multiply 1,265 by .53 and you get 170.45 You can't have 45/100 of a person to do the rounding up to get 171. Check you work by subtracting 171 from 1,265 and get 1094. If you divide this by two you get 547. (547 kids, and 547 adults)

I am pretty sure this is right...I hope this helps!
