Question

A local bus carrying 40 passangers, some with 50 paise tickets and remaining with Rs 1.50 tickets. if the total number of receipts from this passangers is Rs 32, find the number of passangers with 50 paise tickets
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of passengers = 40

let the number of passengers with 50 paisa tickets = x

let the number of passengers with 1.50 rs tickets = 40 - x

50 paisa = 0.50 rupees

total money collected from 0.50 rs tickets = 0.50x

total money collected from 1.50 rs tickets = 1.50x

According to the problem........

0.50x + 1.50x = 32 rs

2x = 32

x = 32/2

x = 16

there fore,

money collected from 0.50 rs tickets (or 50 paisa)

= 0.50 × 16 === 8 rs

money collected from 1.50 rs = 1.50 × 16 === 24 rs

there fore:

total number of passengers with 50 paisa tickets = x = 16
