Question

1/8 of the passengers of a train were children , 2/5of the passengers were men and the rest were women if the total number of women in the train were 380 find the total number of passengers in the train​

Answer 1

$\huge{\mathbb{SOLUTION-}}$

$\texttt{Let\:total\:number\:of\:passengers\:in\:the\:train=y}$

$\texttt{According\:to\:the\:question}$

Number of men = $\frac{2}{5}$ ×y

Number of women = 380

Number of children = $\frac{1}{8}$× y

Adding the number of women,children and men gives us the total number of passengers

$\frac{1*y}{8}$ + $\frac{2*y}{5}$ + 380 = y

$\frac{y}{8}$ + $\frac{2y}{5}$ - y = -380

LCM = 40

$\frac{5y+16y-40y}{40}$ = -380

$\frac{-19y}{40}$ = -380

$\texttt{-19y=\:-380(40)}$

$\texttt{-19y\:=\:-15200}$

$\texttt{y=800}$

There were 800 passengers in the train
