Rocco ran in a 200 m race for his class.
If one more person had finished before him there would have
been as many people in front of him as behind him.
But, if there had been one more person finishing after him it
would have meant there were three times as many behind as in front
of him.
How many runners were there in the race and what was Rocco's finishing position? |
