Question

43 students participate in a sporting event. The winners are awarded ₹2,000 each
and all others are awarded ₹300 each for participation. If ₹18,000 is distributed as
the total prize money, find the number of winners

Answer 1

1————>2000
x-————>1800(here x is the number of prize winners)

If we Do Criss cross method

We get the equation as

x = (18000 x 1)/2000

When we solve it

We get 9 as the value of x

So, the number of winners is 9

Answer 2

Answer:

number of winners are 3

Step-by-step explanation:

43 students participated in a sporting event.

Let x= number of winners

Total money given to winners= 2000x

And y= number of other participants

Total money given to participants= 300y

Therefore, x+y=43 or x= 43-y

According to question,

➡️18000= 2,000x + 300 (43-x)

➡️18000= 2000x + 12900-300x= 18000

➡️18000-12900= 2000x-300x

➡️5100= 1700x

➡️5100/1700= x

➡️ x=3

Therefore, number of winners, x= 3
