To solve this you would need to set this up as an equation
Children=x
Women=2x
Men=4x
Children is x because the amount is unknown
So to set this up it would be x+2x+4x=266
All of the x’s added is 7x so it’s 7x=266
Divide both sides by 7
7/7 cancels out leaving only x and 266 divided by 7 is 38
So the amount of kids is 38, the amount of women is 76 and the amount of men is 152
In short C
