Question

A sum of Rs. 22000 was distributed among 60 students such that each senior student gets Rs. 500/- while each junior student gets Rs. 300/-. Find the numbers of senior and junior students among them.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of senior students be x and number of junior students be y.

Therefore, x+y=60

500x+300y=22000

multiplying (x+y=60) by 500

By Elimination method,

500x+500y=30000

500x+300y=22000

200y= 8000

Therefore, y=8000/200=40

x=20

Hence,there are 20 senior students and 40 junior students.
