Let’s look at an interesting maths problem that needs to be solved in a planned way.

To find the total amount of people in a certain community,

we’ll break it down into steps that you can easily handle.

Take a look at a group of seven guys, each married to seven women.

First, we figure out how many wives there are: Seven men times seven wives for each man makes 49 spouses.

The next thing we learn is that each pair has seven kids.

Nineteen children are born to every man, which is found by multiplying seven wives by seven children per wife.

Since there are seven guys, we multiply the number of children by seven, which gives us a huge 343 children.

Now, let’s add up the whole neighbourhood:

49 lovers

343 kids

7 men

Putting these numbers together gives us a grand total of 399 people.

This step-by-step method makes it easy to solve the puzzle, showing how useful it is to divide difficult tasks into smaller, more manageable pieces. There are 399 people living in this one-of-a-kind town, so the answer is clear.
