There were 10000 spectators at a basketball match. 7000 of them were men. Of the remaining spectators, there were 5 times as many children as women. How many children were there?
Use reasoning to answer the following question.
2500
There were 10000 - 7000 = 3000 women and children.

There were 3000 ÷ (5 + 1) = 500 women.

There are 500 × 5 = 2500 children at the basketball match.

.

The final answer: 2500
