llo
number of winners, if the total number of participants is 63.​

Answer 1

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of winner be x

and let the no. people not got pize be y

Total no. of participants are 63

Therefore, x + y =63 ------ (1)

Total money distributed =3000 Therefore, 100x + 25y =3000------(2)

Multiplying 1 by 25 and subtracting 2 from 1, we get

25x +25y=1575

100x +25y=3000

– – –

–75x = –1425

x =. 1425

75

x = 19

Hence, No. of winners are 19

and No. of people's not get prize is 44
