Question

A Textbook of Mathematics for Class VIII
46. The organisers of an essay competition decide that a winner in the competition gets a prize of
Rs 100 and a participant who does not win gets a prize of Rs 25. The total prize money
distributed is Rs 3,000. Find the number of winners, if the total number of participants is 63.hp you​

Answer 1

Answer:

19 winners

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of winners be 'x'.

So, the number of non-winners will be (63 - x) (subtracting all of the winners).

And the prize money won by non-winners will be 25(63-x).

The prize money given to winners will then be 100x

Solving the question-

100x + 25 ( 63 - x ) = 3000

100x + 1575 - 25x   = 3000

       75x      = 3000 - 1575

        75x     = 1425

           x       = 1425/75

           x       = 19    (No. of winners)

Therefore, the number of winners is 19.

Hope this helps...
