competition, there were more than one
winner and 4500 was distributed as
the prize money. Find the total number
of winners if the total number of
participants were 60.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of winners.

Then the number of participants who do not win is given as (60 – x)

The prize money given to x winners = Rs ( 200x)

The prize money given to (60 – x) participants is = Rs 50(60 – x)

According to the given data, the total prize money distributed = Rs 4500

Therefore, 200x + 50(60 – x) = 4500

take 5 or 50 as common

you will get the value of X

x = ____

Therefore, the number of winners is 19.
