Step-by-step explanation:

=> suppose no. of person = x

=> each get = 6500/x

=> 15 are more = x+15

=> now each get = 6000/(x+15)

=> each get 30 less.

=> 6500/x - 6500/(x+15) = 30

=> (6500(x+15) - 6500*x)/(x²+15x) =30

=> ( 6500*15) = 30(x²+15x)

=> (650*5) = x²+15x

=> x²+15x - 3250 = 0

=> x² + 65x - 50x - 3250 = 0

=> (x+65)(x-50) = 0

=> x = -65,50

=> no of person can't be -ve.

so that x = 50
