Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3. 60 passengers are travelling in a bus. Some passengers are carrying 5 tickets and remaining are carrying 10 tickets. The total fare received
by the conductor is * 405. Find the number of passengers carrying:
a. 5 ticket b. 10 ticket
Let the number of passengers carrying Rs 5 tickets be a
So total number of passengers are 60
Now the number of passengers carrying Rs 10 tickets will be 60 – x
According to question total amount collected by the conductor is Rs 405
So 5x + 10(60 – x) = 405
5x + 600 – 10x = 405
5x – 10x = 405 – 600
-5x = - 195
So x = 39
Now the number of passengers carrying Rs 5 tickets will be 39 and number of passengers carrying Rs 10 tickets will be 60 – 39 = 21
