Billy was counting the number of wheels and bike seats at the playground. He saw tricycles and bicycles. He counted 79 wheels and 28 seats. How many bicycles did Billy see?

5 bikes and 23 tricycles.

So 5 bicycles then

OpenStudy (justdoublechecking):

28 times 3 is 84. That is 5 too many wheels. If you take 5 tricycles of and replace them with 5 bikes you have 5 less wheels. This means Billy saw 5 bikes and 23 tricycles. Yep! :D
