Question

A local bus is carrying 40 passengers, some with 50 paise tickets and the remaining with *1.50 tickets. If the total receipts from these passengers is 32, find the number of passengers with 50 paise tickets​

Answer 1

Answer:

Then, number of passengers with 1.50 Rupee tickets would be (40 - x) According to question, 0.5x + 1.5(40 - x) = 32 ⇒ 0.5x + 60 - 1.5x = 32 ⇒ -x + 60 = 32 ⇒ x = 28 ∴ Number of passengers with 50 Paise tickets is 28.
