Given :- Total number of passengers = 747

Ratio of ladies to gents = 2 : 7

To find :- Number of lady passengers

Solution :- Let the number of ladies be 2x and the number of gents be 7x respectively.

According to the given condition ,

2x + 7x = 747

9x = 747

$\rm \: x \: = \frac{747}{9}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of ladies passenger be 2x and gents be 7x

number of lady passengers is 2x

putting the value of x

number of lady passengers is 2(83) = 166
