Answer:4

Step-by-step explanation:16/4 = 4

if 75% of equipment is iron then do the math

So it would be 4(2) + 4 = 75% of 16
So if 75% of 16 is 12 you need that extra 4 to get you to 16

The number of woods in the golf club is equal [tex]4[/tex].

What is number?

" Number is defined as the count of any given quantity."

According to the question,

[tex]'x'[/tex] represents the number of irons

[tex]'y'[/tex] represents the number of woods

As per given condition we have,

[tex]x= 2y +4[/tex]                                  [tex](1)[/tex]

[tex]x = 75\%(x+ y)\\\\\implies x = \frac{75}{100}(x + y)\\ \\\implies x = \frac{3}{4} (x+y)\\\\\implies 4x= 3x + 3y\\\\\implies x = 3y \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (2)[/tex]

Substitute the value of [tex](2)[/tex] in [tex](1)[/tex] to get the number of woods,

[tex]3y = 2y +4\\\\\implies y =4[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]x= 3\times 4\\\\\implies x=12[/tex]

Hence, the  number of woods in the golf club is equal [tex]4[/tex].
