Mario was visiting the carnival when he noticed a few number relationships. He made them into brainteasers for you.

a. If three-tenths of the visitors were adults and there were 100 visitors, how many visitors were adults?

b. Five-eighths of the prizes at the Giant Spin were dolls. If there were 64 prizes, how many prizes were NOT dolls?

100/1 x3/10=30 adults
B. 5/8 x64/1 =40 dolls
therefore 64-40=24 were not dolls

There are 30 adult visitors at the carnival and 24 prizes that are not dolls. To find the adult visitors, we calculated three-tenths of 100. To find the non-doll prizes, we subtracted the number of doll prizes from the total number of prizes.
