Question

A local bus is carrying 40 passengers some with ₹5 tickets and the remaining with ₹7.50 tickets. if the total receipts from these passengers is ₹230, find the number of passengers with ₹5 tickets ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

step : 1

Let the number of passenger carrying 5 rs tickets be x.

so, number of passenger carrying 7.5 rs tickets will be 40 - x

Step : 2

Total receipts from passengers is 230.

Making a equation.

{(X*5) +(40 -X) *7.5 }=230

5x + 300 -7.5x =230

300-230= 7.5x-5x

70=2.5x

X=70/2.5

x=28
