There are 133 children in the restaurant.

Explanation:

Let t=total people in room

And a = total adults

The first equation is: 2/9 = a/t

The second equation represents the total people in the room

Let c = the number of children

The second equation is: t = a + c

The third equation relates adults to children:  c=95+a

First substitute the t in the first equation for t in the second.

2/9=a/(a+c)

Rearrange the third equation to solve for a and get: c-95=a

Subtitute a into the previous equation to get

2/9=(c-95)/(c-95+c) simplifies to 2/9=(c-95)/(2c-95)

Multiply both sides by 9(2c-95)

2(2c-95)=9(c-95)

Distibute the 2 and the 9

4c-190=9c-855

Simplify

655=5c

Solve for c

C = 131Let t=total people in room

the book's theme is the moral ambiguity of the iranian revolution, history of middle eastern relations and the process of growing up during war. it sheds light on the stereotypical views of middle eastern culture and religion.

the author explicitly portrays the issues of class disparities and racism continously throught the whole novel.

the relationship between parents and childrens, the abandonment of faith, modernity vs fundamentalism and class conflict are the 4 main panels that this novel englobes.

hope this , if you would like me to be more specific about a specific excerpt let me know : )
