Question

*80,000 is to be distributed among 200 persons as prizes. A prize is either of 500 or
16. A total of 80.0
*100. Find the number of each prize.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of persons receiving 16 be x. then (200-x)(500)+x(16) = 80000 => 10000 -

500x+16x = 80000 => 80000-10000 = 484x => 70000/484 = x. Hence x can't be an rational number. So it's not possible. Hope it helps you.
