Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no of persons=x

each person gets=9000/ x Rs

If 20 more persons are there

Per [person=900/x+20

Given

9000/x-9000/(x+20) =160

9000*(x+20)-9000x=160*x(x+20)

9000(x+20-x)=160x(x+20)

900*20=16*x(x+20)

900*5=4x(x+20)

4500=4x²+80x

4x²+80x-4500=0

x²+20x-1125=0

x²+45x-25x-1125=0

x(x+45)-25(x+45)=0

(x+45)(x-25)=0

x=-45 or 25

x can not be negative so x=25

Thus No of persons=25
