Q: Ryan's party was 4 times as huge as Taylor's birthday party. If both parties combined had 240 people, how many people were there at Ryan's party?
A:
To get the number of people at Taylor's party, we'll assume there were n people at his party. The total number of people at Ryan's party is 4 * n, four times the number of attendees at Taylor's party. Combined, there were 4n + n = 240 people at both parties. This translates to 5n = 240. The total number of people at Taylor's party is n = 240 / 5. There were n = 48 people at Taylor's party. Since Ryan's party was 4 times as huge as Taylor's party, at Ryan's party, there were 48 * 4 = 192 people. The answer is 192.
