There are 300 children in the attendance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total people at the carnival = 525

Ratio of children to adults = 4:3

Let,

x be the original number.

Number of children = 4x

Number of adults = 3x

Therefore,

4x+3x=525

[tex]7x=525[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 7

[tex]\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{525}{7}\\x=75[/tex]

Number of children at the carnival = 4x = 4(75) = 300

There are 300 children in the attendance.
