What is a word problem?

A word problem is a verbal description of a problem situation. It consists of few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.

For the given situation,

Number of girls wore mask = 7

Number of boys did not wore mask = 9

Total number of boys = 15

Number of students did not wear masks = 20

Number of boys wear mask = [tex]15-9[/tex]

⇒ [tex]6[/tex]

Number of girls did not wore mask = [tex]20-9[/tex]

⇒ [tex]11[/tex]

Thus the total number of students at the party are

⇒ [tex]7+6+9+11[/tex]

⇒ [tex]33[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the total number of students at the party are 33 students.
